SO...my christmas present to myself was the garmin forerunner 405. it has almost ever feature that i would want in a training device:
heart rate monitor
gps
developer tools
+ all the normal training watch features
the major downside: windows only. they say os x support in the "first quarter of 09" but we'll see when that comes out. seems that it's only because they have yet to create the drivers for that ANT+ system they use for the wireless data transfer, so hopefully it's not long until they get that worked out.
since the only win machines i had were all emulated, and i couldn't figure out how to get the ANT+ stick to follow through to them, i had to install xp again on an old laptop. after about 10 hours of total work(2 -> garmin connect, 8 -> xp install) i go this:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/1903407
as a developer, a page like this can do so much for inspiration. if i only had an extra couple days a week...
