Nike+ FuelBand
Nike may have picked up where Jawbone UP were disappointing by introducing a new device that won’t be available until May 2012. FuelBand is bangle/watch device worn on the wrist and through the device’s three-axis accelerometer, it captures all forms physical activity via body motions.

The FuelBand has a simple interface that motivates the wearer to increase physical performance and attain a set target each day. All of the information gained is then synced with Nike+ through USB (to computer) or via Bluetooth to the free iPhone app for an impressive mobile/web experience .
The Nike+ FuelBand is available for pre-order at nikestore.com for $149 (UK-version price/availability TBC)
