Nikefuel band anyone?

Posts: 10
I know the supply of these things has been less than stellar (to say the least), however I was wondering if anyone else on MFP had started using this and also to show some of the features built into this for those who havn't heard of it yet.
I started using mine on March 1st, after having to purchase it off of ebay for about $50 more than Nike was selling them for because of how quickly (literally sold out within 3 minutes during online release). At a $150 (plus another $50 to the ebay seller) price point I was skeptical, but I bought it out of pure vanity (read: Athlete Jewelry) as a birthday/25-lbs-lost present to myself. After 8 days of use I have found this little "toy" to be an amazing motivator for me, and it has really caused me to step-up my fitness game.
The band itself, isn't too much more than a pedometer that you wear on your wrist instead of your hip. It looks similar to a livestrong bracelet. It has 4 basic functions; Time (like a watch), Steps (like a pedometer), calories burned, and fuel (a nike creation). The real value however is the online tool (they have a smartphone app aswell), which tracks your progress, lets you compare yourself to others, and gives you some mini-achievements to work towards. Here are some screencaps of what the tool looks like (and yes, I'm showing off my best day) and what I've become addicted to:

Main page when you upload your fuelband results. Icons to the left reprsent the past week's days. The circle is blue in this one because I did met and surpassed my goal by 50%

Bottom of the main page, shows you how you compare to other fuelband users in your age/gender group and across all groups.
Daily Graph

When you click the graph on the main page (below the circle) it brings up this graph that you can mouse over and see how your activity throughout the day earned you nike fuel. Also highlights the time when you were most active, and when you hit your daily goal (just happened to be around the same time on this particular day)
Anyhow enough free advertising for Nike, wondering if anyone else has picked up one of these yet and maybe if there are enough of us it could be a fun metric to base a group on MFP around. Also, feel free to add any positive/negative feedback you have about it so far.
(edit: pictures weren't resizing, so i just added urls below them if you want to see the un-chopped screencaps)
