Interface the ipad app with the Vision Fitness PASSPORT system
Some manufactures of treadmills and ellipticals; interface the Virtual Active programs with video devices wirelessly, such as the Vision Fitness Passport system. Can your Bit Gym Ipad Apps interface with the passport system such that your elliptical speed can influence the video display speed? Can it display your elliptical workout progress on the Vision Fitness elipticals on your ipad using your app?

Gotta second this as an owner of a vision fitness xf40 touch screen cross trainer. My trainer has virtual active inbuilt and can talk wirelessly to the virtual active stand alone box, it just seems a natural progression to hook the app up to the hardware, assuming that the wireless frequencies it uses are accessible to the iPad.
I chose this cross trainer solely because of its Virtual active functionality but the limited number of titles available in the UK has really been a disappointment.
I found this app only yesterday and I am really excited about its possibilities. Please hook up to the hardware for resistance changes and also to iCardio or myFitness pal for recording and you will have an essential app that will be pivotal in enthusing people to take more exercise, be healthier and live longer.
Long term the industry should consider creating ANSI standards for providing interfaces between fitness hardware and fitness software so that all hardware and software can talk simply and reliably and the cost to developers and manufacturers is reduced.
