Wearable tech gets in the game (pictures)

Jawbone has just announced an iOS Platform, called UP, which is set for integration with multiple apps -- and soon to have an open API -- with the goal of organizing your adventure sports and athletic data.
Right now, the wearable computing market is relatively wide open, with new platforms vying for real estate in a space that is largely yet undefined -- the players are positioning for what is to come -- and nearly everyone believes the wearable market is indeed coming.

Bundled along with the Jawbone UP is a USB-to-3.5mm headphone mini jack adapter.

Assorted colors of the Jawbone UP -- because if its wearable, its got to be fashionable.

The Home screen shows daily progress, Trends shows activity over days, weeks, and months, and your Lifeline shows your total progress since using UP.

UP can even connect Withings scales, so every time you step on your scale, your weight will be incorporated within your UP app, automatically.

Jawbone hopes that by pulling in all this activity data, and connecting apps like MapMyFitness, they will be able to create a clearer picture of your active life.

The community of integrated apps will initially include MapMyFitness, IFTTT, RunKeeper, LoseIt, Maxwell Health, MyFitnessPal, Sleepio, Notch, Wello and Withings.
