A couple questions:

1) The phones listed are iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Windows mobile, Palm & non-smart phone. Which category does symbian fall under?

I have already been informed by email that there will be a s60 app.

2) Premium analytics?? I was under the impression that the entire analysis would be made available as a service that came with the device.

The site, as far as I can tell, does not mention that some of the analysis is only available on a subscription basis in addition to the initial purchase price.

This is well written. And the free membership into the premier club is a great low cost way of rewarding people. Making hardware is freakin difficult, and the margins are always thinner than you want in the beginning.

In order to compensate for this delay, we will be giving everyone who pre-ordered one month of Premium Analytics Features FREE for EACH month their delivery is delayed.

EACH month? That doesn't bode well...

Agreed, there is no mention of additional fees or subscription services on the site. I will be really disappointed if that is the case (maybe it some extra analytics that they haven't yet revealed to the world that they would charge for?).

I realized when I got this email this evening that I have pre-ordered both the WakeMate and the FitBit. When I get both I shall have to run side-by-side feature comparisons, seeing as I've blown the money already anyway...
