USB Pedometer is Like a Cheap Nike + iPod

If you are trying to get healthy by watching what you eat and being sure you are active enough, you may want to consider a pedometer to count the steps you take during the day. If you are the geeky type, naturally, a normal pedometer won’t cut it, you need a USB based one.

Looking more like a target at the carnival than a health device the USB Pedometer counts steps taken to 999,999. The data stays in the memory of the pedometer for up to three days and you can view calories burned with charts generated by software included with the device. The battery is rechargeable and charging is via USB. The device is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista. It will be available in November for $17.99. Think of it as the poor man's Nike + iPod device.
