This is a funky little device. Wondering if it is still serviced at all or mostly abandonware, especially on the software side?
Any hopes for some other forays into "skimo power?"
Similar to a power meter on a bicycle’s crank arm or a foot pod on a running shoe, the Pomocup lets you measure your skimo effort. Capturing a mind-boggling 1200 data points every second, the Pomocup can be used with or without a smartphone or compatible smartwatch. That means you can choose to geek out during a tour or after. Download the Skilog app or plug it in to your computer after skiing and analyze your stats. Attached with two magnets, the waterproof technique-criticizer is ready to go, just power on and start skinning. Your electronic personal trainer will give you feedback on your skills and effort. The Pomocup helps you follow a training plan or measure your progress throughout the season.

Keegan,
It appears these have started to become abandonware, we've removed them from our website. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
To my knowledge there aren't any other similar devices coming to the market.

Do you have the magnetic holder/plastic piece to stick on new skis? Looking to buy a new set up from you but worried I can’t use my pomoca up on it since I’m out of my two sticky attachment pieces.

Thanks for reaching out, Ian. That part is no longer available, sorry about that!

Now that these are in stock, do you guys have a demo unit to try before you buy? Just curious. Thx.

Hi Greg, we have tossed the idea of a demo unit around, but we currently do not have one.

What is the ETA on these?
8/1/2017
Hey Greg, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately we don't have a definitive ETA at this point, but we'll reach out to our contact at Pomoca and I'll follow up once I know more. We also have a new "Notify Me" feature, which will send you an email as soon as we receive them. Let me know if you'd like me to add your name to the list!

Hi Greg, we were just delivered the bad news that the Pomocup experienced some delays and likely won't be available until late January.
