They say it's for their cycling and fishing market. Are their fishing reels ANT+?

Looking forward to seeing test reports on this. It looks like a serious competitor for GoPro.

Still doesn't look like much thought went into the mounting systems for bikes.

Also, non-removable battery is a big negative; probably a concession to make it waterproof. I've got SEVEN batteries for my Contour so I can fill up a 32GB card and always have some spare batteries charged, and rain proof is good enough - I'm not going to take it SCUBA diving.

Being a shimano fanboy, I will buy this camera. My HD go pro Hero 2 is too heavy for my WW obsession.

Glad I wasn't drinking, a soda, water, coffee, <insert your drink here>, when I read this. The liquid would've been all over my monitor.
