Looking for a New Year's resolution to break? Look elsewhere. If you
commit to banging out three solid miles on a Trailrunner 4.0 treadmill
each day, there's a better-than-average chance you'll actually be able
to do just that throughout 2011. In a presumed effort to keep nerds
and internet junkies "in shape," ProForm has slapped a 10-inch Android
tablet (non-removable, sadly) up top, offering users the ability to
check the news, browse their email and surf the web so long as a WiFi
network is within range. Once you're done with that, you can scroll
through workout stats and options including speed, time, distance,
calories burned, pulse, incline and pace. Moreover, it's integrated
with iFit Live in order to give users the ability to map their
progress, and the inbuilt speaker system and auxiliary input lets you
jam to your heart's content, too. At $2,999, it's hardly an impulse
buy, but considering that you were already budgeting $500 for a new
Android device... actually, nah, it's still no bargain.

[Thanks, Justin]
