Can you sync these devices to iPads?

I have had several over the last years and I really liked the Fitbit Force most of all. It was recalled, but Fitbit just came out with a few new ones that look like everything I liked about my Force, plus adding the features I thought were missing.

I've seen these chinese fitness trackers over at dealsmachine.com and wow, the prices look mighty fine! LOL. I'm just curious how well they'd hold up......most all of these are made in China anyways right.....? So How bad can they really be? lol.

http://www.dealsmachine.com/best_183805.html is kinda neat cause theres no cable, it is a dongle that plugs directly into the USB port.....kinda nifty,,,,as I have a habit of losing USB cables lol

But yea, they are tempting.....the most expensive I think I seen was like 40 bucks......vs. 99$ (FitBit Flex) lol

I've been using the one at http://www.dealsmachine.com/best_183805.html since the summer (I couldn't afford a Fitbit at the time) and I've found it to be pretty good! It seems to track steps accurately, it monitors my sleep and I can set several different vibrating alarms which is really useful. Mine is manufactured by Vidonn and syncs to an app on my phone, or you can put it directly into a USB port and upload your data that way. Even though I can afford a more fancy one now, I haven't opted to do that yet because I'm happy with the way this one works... I like that it has the little screen whereas the Fitbit Flex doesn't and I need to be constantly motivated by being able to check the number of steps I've done quickly!! Having said that, I looked online and some people have received faulty ones, so maybe I've just been lucky?
