Charles,

One of the biggest complaints I have about heart rate monitors is that you 
can't just download the data to your local machine. You have to upload all your 
data to the manufacturer's web site and you can only view your data via their 
web site. They also want you to share your data with all your friends.

The PulseSensor project "gets it". The data is mine and I can do what I want 
with it. I don't want to be locked into some vendor's web product that is 
insecure and gets abandoned in two years.
