Here’s to Jawbone’s customer service.

December 30, 2011

As a followup to our last post on the Jawbone UP, we thought it appropriate to provide an update to our UP experience, which has unfortunately stalled. While we were among a group of users who didn’t have any notable problems with our UP, we’re now part of the class of users who have a [...]
