Fitbit, a small device designed to track your every physical move, is now for sale after a year of hype and development. Fitbit clips onto your clothing and, using a 3D motion sensor, passively tracks how many calories you burn, your patterns of physical activity, and even how much sleep you get at night. Every time you’re in range of the Fitbit base station, it automatically uploads your data and syncs with your computer. The idea is that you can then log in to Fitbit.com to monitor your data, set activity goals, input food intake, look at your activity trends over time, etc. The battery in Fitbit lasts ten days between charges so you can pretty much keep Fitbit by your side at all times.
Head to the Fitbit blog for more details about the product development, manufacturing, and even an explanation about how the algorithms work that track your movement…
