So jawbone is actually a pretty good name because it pings your jawbone to detect activity. Most people are not aware of bone conduction. Out side of our community the military is probably the only user.
In later versions of the jawbone like the Era the censor is not absolutely required. It does work better using the censor but you don’t necessarily have to use it. As far it’s appearance, very small. Shaped like the old jawbone but if you haven’t seen one it’s a small stylized shape with a piece that fits in your ear and then a piece that sits on your cheek bone or jawbone. The whole deal is about an inch long if that an half inch wide. Weight is only a few grams. > On Mar 23, 2016, at 12:10 PM, Ronald van Rhijn <pa...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > > Scott, > > Thanks for the clearification!
