Philips Activa PMP Keeps You In Shape [Philips Announces Fitness-Oriented PMP Device]

Philips Activa

Yesterday we covered the MyFit from Samsung which was a fitness-based PMP. Now Philips is trying their hand at a fitness based PMP device with the “Activa”. Don’t mind that it’s named similarly to the digestive improvement yogurt – this is a no-frills PMP device.

The Activa will be a small pocket player, and will have a capacity of either 4GB or 8GB. It’ll include a clip for people on the go, and can match your music based on tempo and your workout. Like the MyFit, it can count your calories, and distance ran. It can even talk to you, giving you audio feedback on your status if you desire.

The Activa will come sometime in April 2010, and will cost $130. No price on the competing MyFit was announced, but it’ll likely cost more. With phones quickly becoming PMPs, look for more and more PMPs to fill niches that phones cannot – like fitness helpers.
