The key to creating a good treadmill seems to be the ability to do whatever one can to completely district the runner from the fact that he or she is exercising. By that standard, the new Trailrunner is one damn fine treadmill. Even the most immobile of geeks can find something to like in this thing.
The Trailrunner 4.0 features a 10-inch Android tablet, which lets the user check e-mail, read the news, and surf the Web, as long as a WiFi connection is present. The tablet also features information about your speed, distance, time, calories, and more (it is a treadmill, remember).
A built-in speaker lets you listen to music without the constant thumping of headphones. The treadmill is also connected to iFit Live, so users can track their progress online. The Trailrunner 4 runs $2,999. Happy New Year.
