Why is I can’t find exactly what I want?? I mean, there is some little electronic gadget for everything out there, but yet, the one thing that comes to mind, something that I feel many people would buy, isn’t out there…
Do tell what you want you ask…ok..
How many people out there are involved in some sort of physical activity that use a heart rate monitor for? I am guessing a few. Now, how many people listen to music while doing that activity?? Again, I am guessing a few. So, why is it that there isn’t a mp3 player combined with a heart rate monitor?
You might wonder why? You might use 2 different devices at the same time with no issues, but I think it could work better. For example, let’s say I am running. I might have specific heart rate zones that I want to stay in for that specific workout. Well, with my tunes blaring, there is a good chance I won’t hear the little beep from the watch. Ok, so look down dummy, you might think. Well, what if I am cross country skiing and wearing a pair of gloves and about 8 layers of stuff?? Much more difficult to read the watch. If the 2 units were combined, it could even tell you your specific heart rate, warn you when getting near the edge of a zone and tell you when you are out of a specific zone.
The fact that I could write this on my blackberry (and no, I didn’t) means that there are people out there with the know-how to make such a thing, so lets get on it. I would gladly buy myself an ipod or something like that if I could plug something in to it to make it work….Heck, Apple does it with a pedometer, why can’t they just slap a heart rate monitor strap on it too???
Ok, end rant..

I’m sure there’s an app for that.
