PEAR is another workout gadget that doesn't want to be called a workout gadget

Fitbit, MOTOACTV, and Nike Fit are all gadgets that are designed to help you maximize your workouts. PEAR claims to be different and better, by offering real-time advice and motivation from an actual coach instead of a sexy recorded voice. The device is definitely a gadget because it runs on batteries, clips to your waist or arm band and interfaces with an iPod Shuffle, earphones, heart monitor strap and foot pod.
