New Fitbit knows how high you are

The Fitbit electronic pedometer is designed for people with baby-step into the gym. As founder James Park told me, after the company was launched at an event TechCrunch 2008, he found that, while Nike and Garmin eventually sell their fitness and health monitoring products for nuts activity, Fitbit ended up gaining market share by the middle of a vast population, so to speak. "We do not have a user is very athletic," said Park.

$ 99 new Ultra Fitbit, launched today, is the same as previous products, the hardware key difference: It has a pressure altimeter, so he can determine when the ladder (or, in my town, the hill). This is an important indicator to follow when you try to improve your fitness is to walk the streets, parks and hope it will encourage people to Fitbit Ultra, climbing the equivalent of 10 steps per day while they were collecting their standard of 10,000 steps. This device also measures the quality of sleep.
