I’m with the Band

(UPDATE: I am heading to the Microsoft Store at Fashion Show Mall right now to see if they have one I can play around with, and will update this post with my impressions, if I was able to have any.)

Surprisingly and unexpectedly, last night Microsoft announced its entry into wearable fitness, the Microsoft Band. The belief is they did so because it integrates with both iOS and Android, and leaks from those stores gave away the accessories’ existence.

I myself was surprised when I started seeing the articles, and they came in fast and furious. Within an hour, articles were all over the place. ZDnet referred to it as a ‘game-changer.’Even well-known Microsoft-hating The Verge seemed enamored with it.
