Their wrist watch looks as interesting - http://www.withings.com/activite/en-US http://www.withings.com/activite/en-US † absolutely unusable page design though

  Did you actually learn anything from the video? Yikes, and folks are saying the page is bad: I felt like I was watching a perfume commercial.

This is the most unusable information page I've come across in a while. I'm trying to read the information and it suddenly swipes right. I see an arrow to go back on the left, but when I move my mouse to it, a navigation pops out and when I click I get moved to the end of the page. Ugh. Edit: clearly this page was not closely reviewed before release - there are typos and grammatical errors throughout. Shame, as I'm actually really interested in the product.

Most of their products look really compelling, but a simple inquiry I had on their sleeping monitor was left completely unanswered, both via their support system and via twitter. If a company isn't willing to respond even to simple inquiries from potential customers, then I personally won't buy anything from them.

Thing with Withings products is that that they get all your data. "For example, use of the online body scale leads to the collection of weight data and body mass indicators; use of the online blood pressure monitor sets off the collection of arterial pressure data; use of the online babyphone leads to the collection of environmental data (room temperature and humidity)." http://www.withings.com/us/privacy-terms http://www.withings.com/us/privacy-terms Do I want this to be sent to these people (and sold on? is it? )? Shame cos I'd like to buy their stuff. It's why I won't buy an Apple Watch much as I want one, dear god I want one.

  Are you saying the Apple Watch collects data about you and sends it off to Apple? What sort of data?

Are there any home video monitors that are internet/iPhone accessible that don't rely on giving up privacy? Maybe where I can deploy my own server somewhere?

The hardware is pretty! Would love it even more if they could use IR to measure BPM and body temperature, especially for the baby monitor application. Kinect 2.0 is doing it already.
