The physical fitness buffs out there will probably agree with me, when I say that most heart rate monitors are a pain to use! They require you to wear an uncomfortable elastic / plastic strap around your chest that is cold when you first put it on, and then gets sweaty as you work out…

Just wanted to update anyone that might be interested… I received my 5455 yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. I’ve had no time to play with it yet though. Darned day job is getting in the way lately!

Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900 and 5000 series. If you are an iPAQ owner worth your salt, the initials GM will not mean General Motors to you!
