Jawbone Up fitness band gets an Android app, wider availability outside the US

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Jawbone Up fitness band gets an Android app, wider availability outside the US" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/up-for-android-619x340.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Well, this took long enough, don'tcha think? Ever since the original Jawbone Up fitness tracker came out, we've been saying it needs an Android app so you can use it with more than just an iDevice. Heck, even when the redesigned second-gen version went on sale last year, it was <em>still</em> for iOS only. Finally, though, that Android app is here, and it's ready to download in the Google Play store.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <span>Like the iOS version it's free, and can be used to log daily meals, as well as view pretty charts illustrating your various sleep and activity patterns. You'll also notice some strong similarities in the UI, though the iOS version has a few features the Android software doesn't have yet, such as the ability to share things on Twitter and Facebook. The band, too, is the same as ever, which means you can use it with a mix of iOS and Android devices, if you so choose. </span><span>Finally, there's one last (very big) group of people who will be getting to try the Up for the first time: the wristband is now for sale in Europe, with Asia, Australia and the Middle East to follow next month. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <strong>Update:</strong> The second-generation Up is now available in the UK priced at £99 -- you'll be able to grab one at Apple and Carphone Warehouse stores, alongside Jawbone's own site.</div></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Jawbone Up extends social feed withs Facebook Open Graph integration, updates alarm app for iOS" data-src-height="345" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/12-04-2012upsleeplead-1354724804.jpg" /></div>There's no better motivation than public humiliation, err, <em>community support</em>. Which is why Jawbone's extending its Up band's social circle to encompass the likes of Facebook. Previously, Up users could only share their dietary, exercise and sleep habits with other registered users, but now that feed will also extend to a user's Facebook Timeline. The company's also ushered in a few tweaks for its Sleep alarm, now offering the ability to set specific wakeup alerts or configure Smart Sleep timers for 30, 20 and 10 minute windows. The update's live in the App Store today. So, if you've been dying to share your physically fit and / or gluttonous ways with a much larger audience, well, now's your time to shine.<br /> </div></div>
