Don't worry, the Seiko SlimStick tracks everything you do, but it's not something developed by the CIA, rather it tracks how much physically you are active.
Those of us who try to make excuses for not jogging or working out at the gym because we "are always active during the day" will either be proved or disproved by the Seiko SlimStick. More than just a pedometer, it keeps track of your every movement and determines exactly how many calories are burned.
Dual-axis accelerometers track the magnitude of your movements. Weighing only 15 grams, and 2- x 6.4- x 0.89-centimeters in size, you can slip it in your pants pocket or - better yet - clip it to something so it doesn't register flipping around in your pocket as you doing backflips.
The SlimStick comes in pink, orange and silver, and will store as much as 12 weeks of data. Price: around $60.
The unfortunate thing: it's only available in Japan. As with the Wii Fit, which seemed to take forever to make it here from Japan - and still won't be available until May - it seems like the Japanese want to keep all their health-conscious electronics to themselves, at least at first.
