Jawbone UP: Release Date, Features, Price Revealed [VIDEO]

Jawbone's highly anticipated UP wristband has finally been released and truly is a jaw-dropping product as its revolutionary tracking system monitors people's movement, eating and sleeping habits, in promotion of a healthier lifestyle.

Jawbone's new wristband quite literally urges people to get UP. Everyday activity is tracked though one simple iPhone app that monitors people's steps, distance, pace, calories and GPS routes.

The app has a whole section for challenges, these include:

100,000 steps: Find creative ways to add steps to your day with a goal of accumulating 100,000 steps over 10 days, and take the whole family along for the walk. Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and park at the back of the lot, enjoying the walk rather than jockeying for the closest spot

Eiffel Tower: It takes 1,665 steps to climb the Eiffel Tower. Be the first to the top and earn 60 DailyFeats points for real-life rewards.
