Hodentek Mobile

I thought it was a nice fitness device, not as flashy as Apple Watch. I was even preparing to buy one. The only place where I could by was at amazon.com. It is not available in Microsoft Stores. I believe Microsoft has pulled it out of the stores. Even the developers SDK is not available anymore. Cutting of the limbs like this can only mean one thing. Microsoft Band 2 is dead.

The new Microsoft Band has a very comprehensive set of sensors in addition to a Haptic vibration motor. Here is a listing from Microsoft site; Optical heart rate sensor 3-axis accelerometer/gyro Gyrometer GPS Ambient light sensor Skin temperature sensor UV sensor Capacitive sensor Galvanic skin response Microphone Barometer What is Haptic? It is also known as Tactile or touch sensitivity. You feel a vibration if some attention is needed, for example. In the case of Microsoft Band it can alert you to messages and such. If it bothers you, it can be turned-off from Settings (DoNotDisturb setting). Microsoft Band Video:
