nor increase the ram when they go from 32bit to 64bit CPUs.Apple and free don't go together very well. They can't even knock off this 16GB entry level thing.
That's a shame, but I would say I think they shot themselves in the foot by only supporting iOS with it' software for the Fuelband, so when/ if Apple launches it' wearable then bam it has very strong competition.
What timing. Shut down the Nike Fuel band just in time for Apple to release or at least announce the iWatch at WWDC in June!
Fired or transferred to Apple?![]()
What the heck is a Fuel Point? Calories (big C) let you compare food intake to energy output. Glad I switched away from Nike a few years ago - they have just gone downhill after so much promise.
The goal metre is Fuel but nothing is stopping you from disabling goals and checking the calories section instead.
This is why I'm going into medicine. You make a great product, and the corporation says, "Thank you. You're fired.".
How many MP3 players failed before the iPod? How many smartphones failed before the iPhone? There is a strong market for such devices, look at the sales of Jawbone and Fitbit devices over the last two years. Additionally, you're confusing a "concept" with a market segment. While the Fuel Band may not have set sales records, those other manufacturers I mentioned before have been making money in the same segment.
Didn't know that. Marketing fail?
Nike = will do the wearable sports/fitness/activity software
Apple = takes care of the hardware
It's very analogous to the old Wintel duopoly. Microsoft handled the software part, and Intel handled the hardware. It's a proven strategy.

Interesting that Nike, a company steeped in athletics, doesn't think they can cut it, but a bunch of small startups all have promising potential solutions.
Actually more like a shame that Nike doesn't understand that the internet of things will extend to clothing and sneakers and everything else.
