Microsoft unveils its fitness band- Microsoft Band

Microsoft Band, the first device powered by Microsoft Health, helps you achieve your wellness goals by tracking your heart rate, steps,
calorie burn, and sleep quality. It also helps you be more productive with email previews and calendar alerts, and other information requested through the company's Cortana virtual assistant-right on your wrist. And unlike rival health systems, Microsoft Health will run on competing phones, iPhone and Android, not just those running Windows.


The device appears to be focused on fitness tracking and isn't meant to be an all-purpose smart watch.

In a partnership with Starbucks, the Band will be able to create bar codes to make retail purchases through stored gift cards.

Microsoft Health marks the company's latest push into mobile and Internet-based services as demand for its traditional software products declines.

The Band is on sales starting today, for $199 and comes with a $5 stored gift card from Microsoft.
