I know native linux sw would be better, but until such a time, if it runs under wine at least I could use it. Hi Matt, Just wondered, have you tried the omron software under wine?

I've pretty much reversed out the protocol for one of their blood pressure monitors (790IT to be exact. Yes, some of us /do/ still have time to do USB reversing from protocol logs alone. :) ), it shouldn't be too hard to port to other platforms (outside of their blatant abuse of the HID layer) and I'm betting the pedometer works pretty much the same way. Feel free to email me if you're interested. :) Are you still looking for protocol information for the Omron products?

I kept leaving it at home - or in the office - or at the gym - or in the car ...... At last I've solved the issue. I got a new Polar AW200 fitness watch for my birthday and IT ROCKS - IT REALLY DOES ! Apart from my Iphone it's the best bit of kit I've had in a long time Love it - works a treat - and no more feeling around in my pocket for a pedometer that isn't there As a doctor with blood pressure myself I know I should be really hot on this kind of thing but to be honest I just could never get into the pedometer trend.

I'm interested in this because i am a reflexologist and i know the benefits of using your feet every day. You're not the only one who has started using a pedometer for example i was reading loic's page here. http://www.loiclemeur.com/english/2008/08/how-do-geeks-ge.html I like these stuff, ideally you'd want them wireless and you should be able to check the count on any browser much like a wireless router. It's very good stuff :) Matt,

After sitting behind the computer for 10 years and fast approaching the age of 40, fitness, health and general well being are coming up in my mind more and more. You talk about how you think this is key to getting healthy, but I am wondering if you will share exactly what this has done for you besides some good content for your blog. Can you share some personal stats as to your improvement? Are you noticing yourself walking more knowing you are measured? Do you find yourself increasing your goals as you meet them? Have you lost some weight? Do you notice you are not out of breath when walking around San Fran as much? Just curious, besides being interesting has this thing garnered you an real health improvements? Oh, and for those of you who think I might be asking for his weight or whatever, I am not. But it would be nice to know if it has in fact created results for Matt. Michael Matt,

I´ve used a pedometer the last five months with a daily average of 10930 steps. It´s a funny way to get daily activity and fairly easy to achieve. Just park in the most far corner of the parking areas - and at my work it encourages me to take a extra walk around the offices with the risk of meeting new people...! Everyday I also park 10 minutes walk away from the company I work for - this is also a great tip. Best Wishes here from Denmark. /Rune Hi Matt,
