Jawbone launches an Android app, expands to Europe

Jawbone is expanding the reach of its UP smart wristband to include Android users. The free-to-download application works in a similar way to its iOS counterpart, allowing users to track their movement, sleep patterns and nutrition, while providing them with actionable information in return.

In addition, the company is also bringing the UP to Europe, where users will be able to choose between three different sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and eight colors (Onyx, Mint Green, Light Grey, Blue, Navy Blue, Red, Orange, Hunter Green). Jawbone’s device will be available at Jawbone.com and Apple Stores in Europe beginning today. Moreover, Apple Stores in Asia and Australia will also begin carrying UP next month, along with other retail locations in Europe, Asia, Australia and The Middle East.
