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>

O2's TU Go software spreads your phone number across multiple devices

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="O2's TU Go software spreads your phone number across multiple devices" data-src-height="355" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/tugo.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Between Skype, Google Voice, Viber and several smaller players, there are plenty of platform-agnostic services vying to put your voice through their IP (<i>get it?</i>), and now UK carrier O2 is introducing us to its twist on multi-device communication with TU Go. It's like a marriage of the traditional phone service with the idea of making calls on your laptop, or sending messages from your tablet. An evolution of parent company Telefonica's similar TU Me apps, the TU Go software spreads your phone number across up to five devices simultaneously. You can make and receive calls / texts and manage your voicemail from compatible kit with a cellular or data connection, with all activity aggregated into one "timeline." You can't hook your smartphone up to WiFi, or gab away on another device to avoid eating into your plan's allowance, though -- all usage is treated as if it originated from your phone. TU Go is now available to all O2 customers on a monthly contract, and if you want your whole house to ring at once, head to the link below to find apps for iOS, Android, and a beta for Windows 7 (note: it really is 7-specific, and won't run in Windows 8).</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zaaUo-nn77c?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
