Yes with the downloaded apps you can track how many steps you take throughout the day and they have a running app as well.

Yes! You will be directed to the fitbit website and will see all the same information you would see via phone or ipad. The fitbit is awesome for tracking and giving you the motivation to move!

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

I may not know how to use mine, so that could explain an ignorant answer. In any case, it has a limited value. I can't use it to find my phone because I get repeated annoying alarms when it I have my phone and because it stops tracking things when it wants to - and without my phone (which I am looking for), I can't turn it back on. I use it to find just a couple things that I often misplace and aren't always too close to set off repeated alarms.

The software allows you to assign a hotkey to pause the tracker, but in my experience the delay is such that it would not be practical for what you're asking.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

As far as I know, the unit logs only the GPS location with a certain interval based on user settings. The individual GPS points registered are used to plot a track, and by that, the movement of the user can be seen. Motion, other than the movement based on the track log can not be identified. The vibration sensor is a.f.a.I k. only used to wake the unit from "sleep mode" - a power saving feature, and is not related to any data collection.

I don't know. More importantly., it really doesn't synq with the app very well. I have an iPhone 5 and complained about the app so they sent me a new band for free, and it had the same issue. I Wouldn't buy this if I were you. I know it's less expensive than most other activity monitors, but it's not even worth what they charge you here.

Wish I could- but the tracker won't work on my Linux computer system; Can someone tell me an where I can get an 'adaptor' that will make it work!! BUT you can write to SPARK PEOPLE.com .... and they can answer your question on "dancing".

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

It tracks three types of activity, walking, running and cycling. And sleep, if you consider that an activity. (I was 82% motionless while sleeping last night, which I consider 18% active. Hey, it all counts!) I don't know of any plans to add more activities later, and I don't know whether if has an altimeter.

I have free membership for purchasing another promo stuff from LifeSpan. In other words I don't know if Activity Tracker along will qualify you for this. But you can call them and ask.

No, there is a separate (included) USB sensor that will detect your motion. I prefer this to save battery life.

Unfortunately, no. It is on all day and night and the memory will reset (number of steps becomes zero) at midnight everyday. You can track the memory as far as the past 7 days.

I do not believe it can. I believe it is only compatible with the web-based tracking system.

If activity recognition/detection actually works, you will get alerts. There are other posts/reviews about how well activity recognition/detection works. When the camera doesn't detect any activity you will receive zero alerts. Keep in mind that the activity recognition (which allows alerts) is only in "beta" stage. And based on my experience and others, it really is a "beta" product.

no, the tracker provides exact coordinates of where it is, as long as the tracker is on him, it will show you an address, etc, but if you dont have access to a computer, you could use an app for your phone that shows the position of the tracker on it
