Hello all!

Your different suggestions and the provided information sound very 
interesting!


I personally would prefer a chest strap (like with most heart rate 
monitors for fitness) vs. ECG-sensors 
(http://www.alivetec.com/products.htm) but this is a step in a good 
direction.


I will do some further investigation later.
Actually I know that the German health insurance company Barmer 
started a project with T-Systems for mobile fitness which uses a 
bluetooth heart rate sensor also (but GPS is also included).

Kind regards,

  Jens

Well, for the cadence sensors they are all with cable. But googling for
'heart rate sensor bluetooth' didn't give me any useful results. There
is a company called blatant who produces them, but they wont sell them
as spare parts - I just gave them a call and although it is sunday
sombody answered the phone. The garmin stuff seems to work only with
garmin devices. 


But anyway, it would be cool to have any such sensors. Thus if somebody
investigates further I'm a taker of any decent information.

159 EUR is a heafty price tag. It has another GPS too - which you don't
need as the Neo has one already.

That needs a super fresh flash version which I don't have. What is it
about?

The alive Tec seems the only one that works with linux/BT but i can't
find any price and dealer info.
