Microsoft has just pushed out the first major update for its Band since its launch in October, and one of the cool new features is the availability of a virtual keyboard. But how well does it actually work on such a tiny screen? Surprisingly really well. We have to say that Microsoft did the best implementation possible on the screen real estate available.
Microsoft today pushed out a new update to the Microsoft Band via the Microsoft Health app, taking it to version 2.0.4737.0.
Just a few months after the new Microsoft Band came out, the company is adding functionality with a small software update. The two biggest features of this update—music controls and inactivity alerts—contribute to the band's identity as part smartwatch and part fitness tracker.
"There has been 3 different devices by three different companies that are contending for this number one fitness tracker position, they are: Microsoft Band for the price of $199, Fitbit Surge price $250 and the Basis Peak priced at $199. All 3 of them promise to do heart rate tracking, not just while you work out, but 24/7 while you sleep, while you are doing normal everyday activities."
This looks pretty neat. I can see myself using this
Looks cool but that's one small keyboard. Go9d video
I have tried so hard to get myself to buy this, but the reviews just say its so uncomfortable :( Rev 2 Microsoft, take my money
