    Just read about this on engadget not to long ago. Seems much more resaonably priced than motorola's version of this

    I agree and I'm very curious to see how effective and accurate it is determining calories burned and recording my sleep patterns.

    Moto's just looks like a ipod nano, kinda lame. I like that this can pair with your phone, heck maybe we could get MFP support

    The moto thing looks way overpriced, not to mention you need the as-of-right-now unavailable headphones for it to be a HRM?

    I'm trading my fitbit ultra in for the UP this weekend. Right now the food tracking portion of the UP is just a photo journal- you can report how the food makes you feel, but you can't count calories with it. I'm hoping MFP will sync with it in the future or Jawbone improves the app.

    Anyone have any reviews/experiences to pass along?

    I was thinking of getting one for Christmas but there aren't a lot of great things being said on the website.

    I would love some insight.

    Thanks! :D

    Here is my review of the UP... on the same site you'll also find my comparison between the UP and the Fitbit Ultra

    In short my impressions of the UP aren't good.
