I just found out this exists and now I want it. Not even that I'm on a diet just--data! So much data! It can tell you how long it takes you to fall asleep! *grabby hands* My inner scientist wants more data. I did not know I needed to know how frequently I listened to each song and when I last heard it until iTunes started tracking it, and now I feel a compulsion to play anything I played on a CD player on iTunes just so that listen "counts." I care that much about the integrity of my database. I dream of being able to do a genre histogram to see how my music taste oscillates.

My cousin has one of these devices. She got it around when she started (or slightly after) Weight Watchers. I think she just wanted to be able to monitor how much work she was doing -- great positive reinforcement about how you're not really just a lazy ass, you know? She loves it. We all loved her for having it at my sister's graduation, too, since we found out how much walking we were doing. Loved it until my DAD found out about how much walking we were doing, I should say. He's still complaining about how we made him walk six miles around Boston. (Wussy. Some of us were in heels.)
