Shine: Elegant Activity Tracker With A Neat iPhone Syncing Trick
- sgdesign 14y agoHow does that syncing thing actually work? Light flashes? Vibrations?
- truebecomefalse 14y agoLight or Vibration were both of my guesses as well. I personally think that wireless is better. The new Fibit syncs over bluetooth 4.0 and it uses very little power while doing so.
- tehwebguy 14y agoNot sure how it's communicating with the phone. Maybe it's the tech from that company that uses songbird-like sounds to communicate back and forth?
- andreyf 14y agoHow is this going to charge, I wonder?
- gallamine 14y agoThey could potentially do wireless inductive charging through the same coil they (hypothetically) use to do magnetic communication. That, or the top/bottom half of the device are isolated and act as the -/+ terminals (probably wouldn't be good for the swimming application though).
- namank 14y agoThink it must use the magnetometer. It's interesting that compatibility is iOS5+ and Android 4+
