hello,
I have the same problem. Do you have any solution?

hello. I use parallels. The e-Tube worked, but I can not connect the bike because the USB devices do not seem to be recognized (even though they are physically connected and shown in Windows). What's your suggestion?

Works great with Windows 7 on Parallels, but you may have to toggle the SM-BCR2 connection off, then on in Parallels' 'Devices' menu to get it to recognize the device.

Re: Why the iPad will be synonymous with failure

From a business standpoint it was not a failure. It kickstarted a whole new genre of devices, it was an amazing feat. From a usability standpoint I thought it was underpowered from both a hardware (memory/screen) and software perspective (no multitasking). Apple really fixed those issues with the Ipad2, which I subsequently purchased.

Name calling aside, you would argue that the iPad 1 was a failure? Apple sold 15M of those puppies, kickstarting the modern tablet era, making tons of money for themselves, app developers, and accessory makers, and caused every competitor to try to make a competing device, most failing to do so. What failure do you see?

Thanks Alex. This is Caitlin from Strava. We hear you loud and clear. All of us here at Strava HQ are thinking a great deal about our Premium athletes and how to best serve them. We hope to motivate athletes in great new ways as early as this winter. Thanks again for this feedback.

Alex, great stuff. I agree with much of what you wrote. I love Strava, but it would be great for them to add features that are cutting edge. Like you, I am a premium member bc i feel obligated...and I am overall pretty happy.

I think the problem for Strava is those price cuts are not applicable if you have a paid subscription site.
