Hands on with Fitbit’s new Flex wristband fitness tracker

We just spent some time with the Fitbit Flex, the company’s latest wristband-style fitness tracker. Announced earlier today, the device syncs in realtime with iOS hardware (and select Android handsets soon), and there’s also an included USB dongle that will automatically uploads your activity data to a nearby PC or Mac. Getting set up is simple enough; you just pop the tiny white tracker unit into a soft, colored wristband and go about your day.
