Remember the Hollywood agent
character on
The Ben Stiller show? OK, maybe not, but you can combine walking
or jogging with working using the
Treadputer. A clever combination of Skype,
Dragon Naturally Speaking, and lots of keen hardware (three screens are so in, aren't they?) add up to one productive
worker bee. Brad Feld, the creator, isn't the first one to do this. There's a whole Squidoo lens on
Walking While Working. I'll stick to staring at the wall and
rocking out while sweating, thanks.

I Started a company not too long ago to make these things and have installed about 40 so far on various cardio equipment. We are located in Denver Colorado and you can check out the website. We use a touchscreen to simplify the keyboardmouse issues and also an onscreen keyboard if you want to compleatly ditch a hardware based one. We also customize the front-end GUI to simplify commands. We got decent press on this setup as well in Denver Post and Denver Business Journal.
