Nike introduced the Nike+ FuelBand ($149) into the competitive fitness gadget arena today. Like Striiv, Motoactv and Jawbone Up did before it, the Nike+ FuelBand will come with some familiar tracking features that monitor your steps, calories burned, and time, but introduces a game-like point system (called FuelPoints) to keep you motivated. FuelPoints are a metric to measure your overall Read more
Using the Nike+ system to chart my walks and runs has been quite motivational. I love to compare my workouts, see how I'm progressing, and monitor my weekly mileage. Nike teamed up with Polar to offer the Polar WearLink+ Transmitter ($65), a heart rate monitor that's compatible with your Nike+ system.

This wearable wristband lets you Read more

I love the Nike + for my Nano. I don't really like the Nike sneakers that you're supposed to buy, so I've had the sensor taped to my sneaks until I found this from Marware. It costs under $10 and looks cool on your shoe (much better than tape). What a deal. Read more
We've seen film magic turn into reality before — remember, the tablet was first seen on Star Trek! Now for those who daydreamed of a life as cool as Marty McFly's as a kid, your turn has come. During this week's New York Toy Fair, Mattel announced plans to produce the pink hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II. OK, there's no actual air hovering that will occur, but it's a 1:1 replica Read more
