I had the jawbone up (http://jawbone.com/up) almost as soon as it came out. The jawbone was first out of the gate with a fitness band (fitbit doesn't count and they delayed my order so I canceled it). I had 2 of them to be exact. They both died and were returned. The jawbone squandered their hard earned good reputation with that product.
The new kid on the block is the nike fuelband (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,fuelband&sitesrc=glfl_fuelband). It seems better thought out and has bluetooth (unlike jawbone, the company that practically defined bluetooth done well). The interface is straightup usb so there's no adapter to worry about using. The sizing seems better too as it ships with size adjusters. I do like the 100 +10 LEDs. Not sure I like them enough to pay $51 more than jawbone up. The one key thing it may be missing is a sleep tracker. If the sleep tracker is built in or will soon be added I'll pick one up.
Wonder if it will play along with the nike+ in my running shoes....
