Trade-in Program?

Post by spectrelabs »

Is there a trade-in program for Newton 5 owners who are interested in buying the new PowerPod?

Will the PowerPod be upgraded with Bluetooth Smart connectivity next year?

I'm keen on purchasing a PowerPod but the lack of Bluetooth Smart is a deal breaker for now. More and more developers are dropping ANT+ from their products/apps and it looks like it's a matter of time before it becomes obsolete.

We will be introducing an ANT/BLE PowerPod next year. This PowerPod product will not be an "upgrade"; it will be a new product, as the electronics are different.

Newton owners can get a $50 discount on PowerPod, using the coupon code Newton50 at powerpodsports,com

While we do see ANT+ declining, I think it is going to be a long while before it becomes obsolete.
