Nike may not be planning to release an Android companion app for its activity-tracking FuelBand<\/a>, but rival Fitbit is eager to make sure that health-conscious Droid owners are well taken care of. To that end, the company pushed out a new version of its Fitbit Android app that finally brings Bluetooth 4.0 sync support to Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II.<\/p>\n It\u2019s sure to be welcome news for Android-devoted owners of the Fitbit One or Fitbit Zip (the forthcoming Flex wristband is supported too), but let\u2019s face it \u2014 wireless sync support for two smartphones may seem a little underwhelming. Still, it\u2019s certainly a step in the right direction, especially considering just how widely those particular Samsung handsets are.<\/p>\n As more than a few people pointed out the other day, Android-powered devices make up a huge chunk of the global smartphone market and basically ignoring all those users like Nike has is a course of action that seems awfully silly.Even so, Fitbit\u2019s slow rollout is rather telling \u2014 while the company has said that it will work to bring wireless syncing to more devices in the weeks and months to come, ensuring a smooth and timely sync experience doesn\u2019t really seem to be a one-size-fits-all process.<\/p>\n Even Fitbit representatives acknowledge that this most recent version of the app isn\u2019t exactly perfect. Apparently, the development team still thinks of this release as something of a beta since the sync process still takes a little longer than they would like. Sadly, my Fitbit has disappeared into the wilds of my desk drawer, so I couldn\u2019t see how long it took for me personally, but those of you with all the prerequisite hardware may as well give it a shot.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Nike may not be planning to release an Android companion app for its activity-tracking FuelBand, but rival Fitbit is eager to make sure that health-conscious Droid owners are well taken care of.
