Wahoo Fitness bringing $80 BlueHR heart-rate belt to iPhone 4S users

Keep in mind that nondescript heart-rate monitoring belt we peeked back in June ? Now you understand the corporate that’s tossing out purchase orders for ‘em. Wahoo Fitness has just revealed that it’s going to soon be shipping its own branded version of the product — dubbed BlueHR — and not less than for now, it’ll work exclusively with the iPhone 4S. Why, you ask? The 4S simply so happens to have Bluetooth 4.0 , and this here belt happens to make use of that very protocol. In a quick demo vid (embedded after the break), the corporate demonstrates it beaming out vitals to a close-by iPhone, and we’re told that it will be “compatible with each of the top running apps like Runkeeper [in addition to with] Wahoo’s own free app.” We’re guessing that the outfit will do everything it may well to have this guy out by Christmastime, but for now, you can begin pinching pennies with a purpose to afford the looming $79.99 sticker.
