Anyone know how accurate the step counter is?  I logged over 20k steps today at work.  When i checked after 2 hours, i had already added 7000 to the 500 i had when i walked into work.
Granted, getting about a 1000 watts while i am at work is just fine, I am not sure if my placement is tricking the counter.  I didn't feel like checking it, walking 100 steps and looking again... since i had work to do.
 
How about you? Do you get lots of steps a day? Does it make much difference where you wear it on your body when it counts steps?

I works on my belt, but I've heard it works in the pocket as well.

No stepcounter is really accurate obviously, like if you bump into someone, it'll go up a step or two, or if you do stuff while standing still, like wiping a counter, it might jostle it, so yeah. I'm pretty sure the average amount of steps a day one needs to be healthy was like 3000 I think. We did a big step counter challenge at my school way back and that's what I was told to try and get every day. 3000's easy, I liked trying to get it to 10,000 steps a day.  
 
A pokewalker at my job would be awesome, I should start doing it. I'd have watts out the ass. 

When you shake it nothing happens, but if move in a linear motion it detects that. I think it's a great peripheral.

today i had a little less running around at work, more time building features... so I got just short of 15000 at work today, but i am more tired...  go figure.

does anyone go out without loading their pokemon into the walker on purpose?  i collected a geodude today because i didn't take time to grab one before work. then i collected a Magby while i was playing with it on my lunch break.
also, almost got 21k steps again today.  It looks like I do a shitload of walking.

Strap it to your dog and play fetch with it for an hour or so. 

Used my walker last night when I went into Boston with some friends. Pretty cool little gadget, but I don't really see myself using it too often.

Same.  I actually put it on my dogs collar and left it there for a day.  Guess how many steps I got.  OVER NINE THOUUUUUUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

i havent tried the dog thing but thats a really good idea if you feel like being lazy for a day. 
 
i take mine to school and get about 20000 steps every time.
 
It counts steps if you ride a bike as well

Just from slowly shaking it for about ten minuets I got about 700 "steps".

i have sat and waved it around to get to an even k...  up and down does next to nothing compared to side to side.
like...  <---  Ɵ   --->
 
sometimes i even get items when it is in my pocket... i guess i am wasting watts by accidentally pressing buttons.

So guys what's the step - exp ratio?

Someone mind telling me how this Pokewalker thing works?
