Best Fitness Tech: Mio Alpha Sports Watch
Getting the most out of your workout means getting your heart pumping at just the right rate. Unfortunately, most pulse-monitoring gadgets require a chest strap, which isn’t the most conducive for those who just want to get out there and run. The Mio Alpha wristband gets around this obstacle by implanting two optical sensors in the underside of the watch, which then see how much blood is flowing. A quick glance down at your wrist not only tells you your time, but also your heart rate and if you’re in the zone. The watch can also pair via Bluetooth with a number of fitness apps already on the market, so you can track your progress. The Alpha looks pretty good on your wrist, too.

CES was a great show

One Android tablet maker worth a look at in 2013 is Ainol Electronics – which recently introduced a number of impressive, well-priced Android tablets and is also noted for winning Runner-Up for “Best Tablet of the Year” at CNET 2012 —
One of the first U.S. resellers to carry the new Ainol – Novo brand tablets is a site called TabletSprint — and this week the Novo 7 VENUS launched — a 7 inch tablet with a QUAD CORE processor for only $149 that takes on the Google Nexus 7 and other competitors for a lot less and offers a lot more — with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, a high resolution 1280×800 IPS screen, 16GB memory, a 4000 mAH battery, both front and rear cameras, a MicroSD memory card slot for unlimited storage, Google Play with access to 400K+ Apps, a MicroUSB port for connection to printers and other electronic devices, HDMI – to view personal videos and to download movies and watch in full 1080p (HD) on to a large screen TV, WiFi, Ethernet, and an option for 3G/4G connection. It’s also a great gaming device with its high resolution screen and motion gaming sensor. The site TabletSprint also offers a 7″ Compact Case with built-in Keyboard ($22) which easily transforms a tablet into a mini-laptop–
TabletSprint offers a few other brand new models with most launching in January, including the Novo 10 Hero – a
full-size 10 inch tablet packed with impressive features for only $219–
TabletSprint also includes $25 in quality Bonus Apps with all tablets available through their site…. both these new models and a few others are certainly worth checking out and comparing to other major brands.

That Mio Alpha sports watch is exactly what Ive been waiting for. Not only is my current sports watch starting to fall apart from wear and tear the chest strap smells like its over 100 years old. Thank you for the information I will do more research to try and find where I can buy.
