Creative's Zen Krystal MP3 Materializes Out of Nowhere

It kind of looks like a Zen Stone, and it is certainly a far cry from the Zen X-Fi, but this little MP3 player has been discovered hiding on Creative's Hong Kong site. Apparently, the 4GB Zen Krystal is designed to be a sports player with a pedometer that functions similarly to the Nike+ line. It also includes games like "Hurdle Race, Catch & Dodge and Dice Roll" as well as a Blue 0.7" OLED, FM radio, and 10 hours of playback. A price and a release date have not been made available.

Ubisoft's DS Pedometer, Get Fit With Your Gaming System

Wii-fit, schmii-fit: why go tromping boringly up and down on a plastic pedestal when you can use Ubisoft's new DS pedometer to help get fit with healthy outdoor exercise? It's designed to complement the cute My Weight Loss Coach DS software—simply carry it around with you all day, on your jogs and walks, then plug it in to your DS's GBA slot to download data on your fat-fighting. We guess you'll have to be pretty dedicated to getting fit though: if the system gives bad news on your performance it'd be too easy to unplug and cheer yourself up with some Mario Karting. Out in Summer, in Europe at first. [DSfanboy]

Lap-Around-Japan Pedometer Lets You Virtual Hike Around Japan During Your Daily Commute

Out in Japan at the end of next month, U-Mate's Lap-Around-Japan pedometer is a novel idea to get people walking. Instead of noting the same old landmarks (skyscraper, dog toilet, convenience store, interminable roadworks, pervy builders, etc. etc.) the miles you cover are transposed into miles around the japanese coastline. The device also keeps you entertained on your journey by acting as a kind of geographic Wikipedia for you. Confused? Read on. More »

The Adidas Phone (With Help From Samsung)

If we told you to picture a phone with the Adidas branding on it, would you picture something spectacular, or something more along the lines of a 2-megapixel slider with FM radio, MP3 player and an EDGE connection? Right. At least the phone, manufactured by Samsung, has actual sport functionality with a pedometer and heart-rate meter. With that kind of equipment, this phone could have been a Nike+iPod Sport Kit and a cellphone all in one—something we're still eagerly awaiting. [GSMHelpDesk via Crunchgear]

Sportline ThinQ Pocket Credit Card-Sized Pedometer

The deal here is that this is a credit card sized, 3mm thick, pedometer. Counts calories, distance, and steps. This makes a lot more sense than strapping a full sized pedometer to your arm or belt and living with it in tow. Most walking is probably done down city blocks, across the office to the laser printer, and through the mall during sale season. [Sportline via Digital Trends]

Sportline 334 Safety Pedometer

If Natalie Portman's character in V for Vendetta had this safety alarm pedometer, she would have never met V and the movie would have been 10 minutes long. The Sportline 334 is a regular pedometer — tracking your steps and counting your calories burned — but it also makes a 100db noise to alert bystanders. It retails for £16.95, which is a cheap price to pay for peace of mind. More »

Oregon Scientific's Wonky MP3 Player

Oregon Scientific shows us what they're made of (and what kind of drugs they're on) once again with the MP121 Waterproof MP3 Player and Pedometer. Yes, that's right, you too can now listen to music in the rain and count how many steps you've taken, all for just $150. The product is really being marketed to swimmers and, um, waterskiers it seems. But with an included FM radio, I think it's really for all of us, don't you? It measures 2.72 x 2.07 x .83 inches and includes two separate headsets, one specifically designed for swimming, and the other more-traditional earbuds. More »
