I used the jawbone and my fitness pal during a 3.5 hour hike this afternoon with my family (including a 5yo, lol) and the cals burned with each of them were within 30 cals. Map My Walk was 100 shy of what the other 2 said. Pretty impressive. And since it is mothers day, I get to eat JD chicken and shrimp for dinner tonight. I'd say I earned it.

Even though the UP (and similar products) just guess on the cals, I also find the UP does a pretty decent job of being accurate within a few percent of what a HRM reports. In one research article I read, the UP did a good job of being close to the BodyMedia's FIT, which does measure cal burn through monitoring.
And in other news Jawbone recently setup to acquire BodyMedia.
