Had enough turkey to last you a lifetime? Can’t face another helping of cheese and port? Then step this way. The post-Christmas ritual of shedding pounds is as old as the big day itself (maybe), but rather than opening your wallet and handing over your cash to a gym, invest in this winning fitness tech that you’ll want to keep on using beyond the first couple of weeks of January.
“Risk an early death, just do nothing” reads the caption on the UK Department of Health’s latest push to reduce childhood obesity and promote healthy living. It seems fairly run-of-the-mill at first glance, but not if you’re Sony and it’s one of your iconic PS3 control pads that’s being directly linked to childhood death. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is reportedly considering legal action against the Government’s latest Change4Life ad campaign.
Bluetooth is nothing new, but Sony’s new wireless sports headphones announced today made us sit-up and listen (sorry). These clever cans not only sync up with your music player, but your phone at the same time, meaning more convergence, and less wire.
Creative’s not letting up in its quest to topple the iPod: its latest player’s dubbed the Zen Krystal, and has popped up in the far east, packing music skills as well as built-in fitness tracking.
Apple’s tie up with Nike is about to take a giant leap forward, with a range of new treadmills and exercise machines heading to gyms, complete with iPod docks to record work-outs and sync them to the web.
