Yup, and others that I've met at local events.  So far, only
vapourware, as far as I can see.

There is a linux driver, of sorts for fitbit (libfitbit, iirc) that
will permit syncing.  If I had the coding chops, I'd modify that code
to get it to save a local copy of the data.  Then, under user control,
decide to share that data with fitbit or not.
