Could a scale by any other name weigh as neatly?

Are you on an iDiet?

If you really want to move your dieting practice into the modern age, you may want to check out The Connected Scale from Withings, a WiFi-enabled scale that sports a free companion iPhone app (iTunes link) that will give you access to information about your weight and body-fat percentages over the course of time, all viewable in table and graph form – and accessible from the Internet.

Now, there’s a password you’ll want to keep secure.

UPDATE: Withings informs CoM the Connected Scale will be available to US Customers in September at a retail price $159 USD, on their website (http://www.withings.com/). And yes, it can display weight in pounds.
