Either Fitbit has a runaway hit on their hands, or they have run into production problems. With no updates on their blog since September, we are left wondering why the shipping date for new orders keeps slipping. Last week their site had mid-December as the ship date for new orders; today it says January 31st. I am afraid that without the Fitbit Tracker to help, most New Year’s resolutions will have been broken by the time this cool activity tracker arrives. Where is the openness that the blog used to display? Come on guys, give us a little insight into what is happening.
If you just can’t wait for the Fitbit and don’t mind not tracking your sleeping habits, check out DirectLife from Philips. It tracks all your movement throughout the day and once you upload the collected information to your computer, it will provide you with your activity patterns and give personalized advice and motivation. The product is available in the U.S. and the Netherlands and through tomorrow, it is available for only $79. This price includes the first four months of membership. The normal membership fee is $12.50/month.
Do you think this kind of tool will work for you?
