Wow! I didn't expect Jawbone to be so interested in this market given their Up! experience last year.

I guess this shows the value people are starting to put on this space (considering Jawbone is a multi-product company who's focus on personal data still felt like an offshoot business). Will be interesting to see what they're able to do with this acquisition.

Crazy valuation.
Can't make sense of it other than assume that the patent portfolio is
of worth (and they will use it against competitors).

I hope you're wrong ... this patent war is so discouraging and so counter to the supposed function of patents.
