Jawbone Up

[Kaenon]

Anyone have any experience hearing stories about this thing?

Saw the video, but I don't know a whole lot about it.

Thoughts about the device as well?

Specifically, does anyone know how to charge the device?

 

[jlblodgett]

It looks like the endcaps of the bracelet may come off.

AAA battery, perhaps?


I work in a field where I have to go through metal detectors almost every day. I assume I'd have to take this thing off.

I don't think Jawbone would make something that uses disposable batteries. I'd imagine one of those caps simple swivels to reveal a micro-USB.

I'll be buying one of these. Partly because I think the technology is fascinating, but also because I really could use something like this for my life.

I'm excited.

Looks like on there website it's a re-chargeable battery that gets "up to" 10 days of battery life.

Looks like on there website it's a re-chargeable battery that gets "up to" 10 hours of battery life a day.

It's 10 days.

lol @ 10 hours. That would be the most useless thing ever if you had to recharge it mid-day.

I am really interested in this too

I've heard that Jawbone makes good products but I've never used any.

It's 10 days.

Thanks for the correction! I read it wrong. 10 days is much better!!

Just a tad better.

The main feature that i want is that it vibrates to wake me up.

Would be great since i have a 1 month old sleeping next to my bed.

But $99 for that is a little steep, but i really dont think there is a cheaper alternative

 

[mffl04]

Has anyone heard of these being released in stores early?

 

[hizzaah]

I 'm planning on picking one of these up as well.. might have to wait for a coupon though.

I was hoping they'd pop up at my local best-buy when they had the 20% off phone accessory coupon floating around, but it didn't happen looks like we've still got a few days before it's released though

I just picked mine up from the Apple store yesterday. Apple is putting them on shelves early.

BTW, I love the device! It's comfortable and it's waterproof. The device charges via usb. The Jawbone tip comes off, and reveals a 3.5mm jack. That connects to a USB cable.
