The FitBit = Nike+ But Cooler

TechCrunch 50 was the biggest event last week (yes, bigger than Apple) and the FitBit was the runaway winner (although it technically didn't win).



RyanSpoon.com awarded the FitBit his "TechCrunch50 Best in Show":

With that out of the way, my TechCrunch 50 winner was FitBit. Outstanding little device with amazing form factor: it can be worn anywhere and at any point (unlike the Nike Plus gadgets). It’s also available at an unbeatable price point: $99. Better yet, it syncs wirelessly and has a full web interface to track your progress, health and friends. Awesome. This will be *the* holiday gift of 2008 (assuming it ships on time). It’s also an important product for a serious issue: health.
