Computational power continues to shrink and the eventual reality is that our computing devices will follow suit. To a point we will be able to cram a movie theater, a home stereo a camera and a telephone into one ... But even more important is when we begin to include our health monitoring devices into the cellphone / smart phone package. The Micoach is a all in one device in conjunction with Adidas that incorporates fitness training programs into a fully loaded cell phone. The brains of the system is a Samsung phone that gets linked to a pair of shoes through rfid or blue tooth for tracking exercise. Available only in Europe at this point, look for Micoach and other integrated devices to help keep us healthier longer.

As of now, cellphones with fitness programs are only available in Europe? Let's hope these spread to other continents soon. Health-conscious people and those who regularly exercise will look forward to this kind of technology. I'm pretty sure it will. But I hope it'll come soon enough. I'm planning to buy one.
