Jawbone launches online marketplace for UP-integrated devices and apps
The popular wearable product maker Jawbone has just launched a new online marketplace in a bid to “deliver on the promise of not just the ‘Internet of Things,’ but the ‘Internet of You.’”
The Jawbone Marketplace, as it’s simply and aptly called, is a one-stop shop for devices and subscriptions to apps highlighted by the Jawbone team for their “best-in-class” integration with Jawbone’s UP activity trackers.
At launch, the Jawbone Marketplace features 11 devices and app subscriptions: the Nest Learning Thermostat, the Automatic driving accessory, the Lose It! scale, the Orange Chef Prep Pad for meals, the SmartThings smart home kit, the Whistle dog activity monitor, the sleep improvement app Sleepio, and the fitness apps Kiqplan, Fitocracy, FitStar, and MapMyFitness.
The Jawbone Marketplace is up and running now for customers in the U.S., with support for other regions to follow soon.
If you want to extend the capabilities of your Jawbone UP tracker and do much more with it, the Jawbone Marketplace is a great place to start.
That Jawbone has seen fit to launch a one-stop shop for notable devices and apps that connect with UP is a welcome development. The move also serves to underscore UP’s already wide-ranging integration with other products and services ahead of the release of the similarly fitness-focused Apple Watch in April.
