Jawbone, the manufacture of advanced bluetooth headsets, the UP Band and the Jambox, is releasing their “UP system” to developers. This should make their fitness tracking app available to anyone with a smartphone or compatible smartwatch.
Jawbone calls the UP system, “a rich, highly personalized coaching system,” that lets users track their steps, sleep and food intake. Previously only available on the UP Band, the app will now be available on your fitness device of choice. Jawbone did state that they have some exciting products to bring to market, but didn’t specify what.
Besides saying that they would be releasing a device-connectivity framework, Jawbone didn’t give a specific date for a release. With Apple and other big companies releasing wearables, it will be interesting to see how some of the smaller players in the market react.
