Fitbit, Linux, and you

The poor Linux support is disappointing. But I had trouble with initial Fitbit setup on OS/X, a supported platform. Customer service wasn't able to help, but issued a refund. I'm grateful for that, given Fitbit's data hoarding.

Also in the health gadget arena, Withings' digital scale was completely painless to set up on Linux. Withings has announced an activity tracker I'm keeping an eye on:

YMMV
