The Fitbit is a new personal-fitness tracking device that can track how many steps you've taken, as well as how long you sleep each night.
Here it is on its docking station, which doubles as a wireless antenna. When users get within 15 feet of the docking station, the device begins to sync up your latest activity to the Fitbit Web site.
