I really, really like this item. Imagine if data like this starts to impact BIG choices in lives, say where you choose to live in relationship to where you work.
I like it because it allows changes that are good for the device user AND for the use of fossil fuels, etc. SO give it a read.
Nice work Jawbone,
PS this is BIG data getting crunched....
QUIK has an accurate step counter, it has in transport context ( in car) & if used in a device could be a part of this change.
See owning QUIK is a GREEN investment, I kind of like that thought as we wait for the S3.

The quantified commute: How longer work journeys impact our lives
Jawbone data shows long commutes equal a less healthy lifestyle
On average we spend a year of our lives just commuting, so there's little surprise that your daily trek to work has some pretty seismic effects on your lifestyle.
A delve into the data from Jawbone's fitness tracker users reveals a host of differences in the lifestyles of commuters; with the effects of longer and shorter journeys to work impacting our sleep, exercise patterns and even weekends. The company has revealed the full data on its blog.

With longer commuters averaging lower daily exercise, less sleep and more sedentary weekends, this kind of mass data can help us all make better choices.
Delving into the data
It seems fairly obvious that those with longer commutes end up sleeping less – given most people have to get up earlier to make work on time. Those with 15 mile commutes or more end up going to bed 28 minutes earlier than non-commuters, and waking up 51 minutes earlier, making for a net loss of 24 minutes every night.
However, the effect carries into the weekend – and those with commutes get up 30 minutes before their counterparts on rest days, too.
Long commuters are also less active. Over the working year, those who commute over five miles will lag 100,000 steps behind short distance counterparts – which is likely to be the choice between the car and public transport.
And the weekend again shows the difference between the two distinct working lifestyles. Non-commuters clock up just under 1,000 steps more over a weekend than those who travel over 15-miles to work, and that demographic seems to take sedentary habits from the week into their free time, too.
And finally there's a difference between workout times. The average commuter's peak times for exercise are unsurprisingly 6am, 12pm and 7pm – while the non-commuter tends to run at 9am and 5pm. On the weekends, the two converge to nearly identical patterns again.
