thanks! does anyone know if there is a monthly subscription to pay for the online resources?

Really good question.

Other than the $99 or $59, are there any other fees at all? Anything?

Also, does it link via Wifi, or only bluetooth via one of the designated technologies?

are they still selling the ultra? i didnt see it on their website?

You don't have to pay a subscription. There is an option to get extra coaching but I don't think many people do.
The old ultra has a Congo with a USB for a computer which fit bit syncs wirelessly with. The new Zip and The One will Bluetooth to iPhone 4S/5 and new ipad

So, no WIFI?

WOW. No thanks. I'm out.

Don't understand??

I totally understand. It doesn't sync via Wifi according to information I am gathering. I am not interested in a device that doesn't sync via Wifi, as a minimum requirement for me to enjoy it.

Why do you need wifi. Do any trackers use wifi. You can use Bluetooth if you have the correct phone or just get close to your laptop if you haven't.

I don't really want to have to explain this, but since you keep asking...Because Wifi is superior technology, and having to use another device is like something from 1992. I wont buy it. It's lame and outdated. When I walk into Starbucks, my office, my home, or a friends house, it should sync at that moment. Not, when I get to a pre-approved device. It's just lame. I don't like technology that doesn't work the way it should, IMO. Now, it's probably designed that way because it's easy and cheap to do that. I get it. But, I wont support it.

This is my opinion and only mine. And, it does not mean anything to anyone else or reflect their choice to use it. We all have our reasons for buying products and services.

I am not going to get into an argument about this. I don't care. I know I wont like it if it cannot utilize Wifi connections. This is me, not you or anyone else. Only me.

I appreciate the dialogue and everyone taking the time to discuss this item, as I have been curious for a long time. I almost pulled the trigger last night, but decided to ask a few more questions. I am glad I waited. I would be extremely disappointed in the way in syncs. I would probably either return it, or sell it on ebay or CL.

I'm done with this now that I've come to a resolution about it.
