DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: Fitbit Zip

By Aaron Colter Published August 7, 2014

It was only after those pounds of turkey, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, apple pies, glazed ham, tree-shaped sugar cookies, and fruit cakes that you realized last year’s most important resolution never got resolved. Never fear: 2013 is a new year and a more appropriate time to get your exercise on – all while looking pretty awesome with this Fitbit Zip in your pocket. The pint-sized pedometer will help you keep track of daily steps and calories burned so you’ll push yourself to get better numbers every day.

You could buy your own Fitbit Zip at $60 retail, or you can attempt to win one for free today (Spoiler alert: Free is always better than $60 out of your wallet). To try your chance at winning my gift to you, share with us your absolute favorite song to workout to, and why. What gets you pumped up at the gym or on the streets? Impress me and this little gadget is yours. The contest ends in just one week on December 18, so let us know in the comments and I will be contacting the winner personally at the end of the giveaway.

These Anona smart home deals have us ready to install some new gear

Anona Home Security Black Friday deals hero

I always say one of the best places to start building your smart home is either with the garage -- via a smart garage door opener -- or a smart video doorbell. But another great addition is a smart lock. Why? Well, because it vastly improves the use of your front door and deadbolt. For example, you can issue temporary guest keys or passcodes to let people come and go, and then revoke them when necessary. No more leaving physical keys under a mat or pot. In another scenario, you might grant temporary access to a parcel delivery person so they can put your valuable package inside your home rather than leaving it on your doorstep. Pairing a smart lock with a video doorbell or security camera is even better because then you can see and communicate with who's at your door.

If all of this sounds enticing to you, you'll want to listen up. Smart home purveyor Anona has some excellent deals right now on its Holo WiFi smart lock and Aurora 4K security camera -- the perfect bundle for doing exactly as I've described. The Anona Aurora security cam won the Muse Gold Design award in the security category, meanwhile, the Holo smart lock takes just three minutes to install -- it's super easy. Okay, that sounds great, but what are the deals? Let's get to that, shall we?

Now, Bloomberg has shared some juicy details about how the entry-level option will look and work. The device will offer a 6-inch screen with a square-ish format flanked by sensors, including a FaceTime camera in landscape orientation.
