It might be crazy to even care about this, but right now I have no data on how many calories I burned yesterday or how many steps I\u2019ve actually taken. I\u2019m not being encouraged to move around, and I have no activity circles to fill in. Sure, some of that can be recorded on the iPhone, but it won\u2019t be as accurate, and it requires that I have my phone in my hand or pocket at all times.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I get home, dock my iPhone in the bedroom and go outside to read, grab a beer or sit on the couch.
