Waiter, there's a fly in my shoe!

For all you fitness freaks out there, this is a continuous heart rate monitor that doesn't require a chest strap and is supposedly as accurate as any Polar-style watch. This is great for someone like me, I've managed to break Nike, Garmin and Polar chest straps over the years with normal use.

It also includes either bluetooth 4.0 or ANT+ to connect to phones or other fitness equipment. There aren't too many phones that have BT4.0 (iPhone 4S and the HTC one series, I believe?), but if you go with the ANT+ option you can connect to Garmin computers, Concept II rowing machines and lots of other modern equipment.

Hopefully this works as well as advertised, it'll make training a fair bit more comfortable.

Thumb drive sized android computer. There are a few already on the market but this one looks pretty cool with the following specs


I'll use it for a streaming audio, basic internet machine for the garage.

I've backed this one as well, and it turns out they've upgraded the RAM to 1gb. This will apparently make it compatible with Jelly Bean, so good news all round!
