I swear you could not have made a post that looked more like spam if you tried. What do you like about it?

It's a GPS-enabled bike computer that has video capabilities. Not very interesting especially considering it's not available yet.

What he probably likes about it is that he's promoting it, and if people buy it, he makes money....

you know that for a fact, or is it just a gut feeling?

I think it looks nice, but I have a lot of questions not answered on their website.

I haven't done a lot of video, but it doesn't say if it will record and store continuous video, say for a 24 hour ride.

External sensors? Real time Speed, Cadence, etc? Display shows power, but nothing on website about that. Average speed is nice too.

STRAVA?

Does it require cell phone activation? If so, does it function as a cell phone?

Website didn't like my ad blocker

I saw it on GNC show. Thought you guys might like it.

You think you got it all figured out, huh?

I have nothing to do with the product.

All will be revealed if it ever leaves the 'vaporware' product category.

I'm not sure I need video that is triggered by my heart rate. What's that for? To capture the look on your face, right before you died climbing that 3-mile, 11% grade?

It appears to be a cell phone, without the useful bits. I love the mount, though. Very chic!
