More often the object of dread than fascination, the humble bathroom scale has been given a makeover by Withings, which has injected the Connected Body Scale with WiFi and an online progress tracking system not too dissimilar from that used by Nike . This sleek metallic device is accurate to 100 grams -- oh yes, its metric, like it should be -- and conducts a body mass analysis that can tell you the uncomfortable truth, should you care to know it. Accessing progress data can be done via a free iPhone app or the companys website, which is also the best place to plop down the €129 ($184) entry fee. And dont tell us youre not interested, somebody is buying up all those Wii Fit boards and it sure as hell isnt us. Video after the break.
