Fitbit- Is it really worth the money?

I recently saw that MFP is syncing up with fitbit. I have never heard of fitbit until today when I saw it on the site and started researching it. My friend told me she was interested in getting UP by Jawbone, the wrist band for the iphone. They both seem really cool, I was leaning more towards the UP but I just called Jawbone customer service and found out they have been recalled and are unsure of the new release.

Any thoughts on either items? I've heard good things about both... should I wait for the UP to be released or get the fitbit?
