The Fitbit Tracks All Your Activities

The Fitbit has just been launched. It accurately tracks calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled and even sleep quality. The Fitbit contains a 3D motion sensor similar to the one found in the Nintendo Wii. It works by tracking your movement in three dimensions and converts this data into useful information about your daily activities.

The main improvement over the Nike + Ipod sensor is its wireless capacity. Anytime you walk past the included wireless base station, data from your Fitbit is automatically uploaded to Fitbit.com. The Web site's detailed data includes a food budget, calories burned, steps taken, and daily trends.

However it's not that accurate for biking, but the website allows you to manually log activities, so that an estimated calorie burn for your biking can be included in your daily totals.

The Fitbit is worn on your waist, in your pocket or on undergarments. At night, you can wear the Fitbit clipped to the included wristband in order to track your sleep. The device costs $99 and the web site services are free, but premium services may be added in the future.
