Fitness through IT?

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Philips-DirectLife-Activity-Monitor,review-1509.html

This is an interesting little device that attempts to monitor your calorie expenditure through the day and communicate it with an available personal trainer at phillips HQ. Although there are limits for highly specific motions like an exercise bike, there is a huge potential advantage (as the writer notes) in simply providing a highly visible reminder of daily activity for each of us.
I'm not personally convinced I'd buy one yet since I spend so much time rock climbing and weight training that don't show up well but I think this is a technology I'm certainly going to be watching develop in the future.
