Extracting Data From the Microsoft Band

An anonymous reader writes The Microsoft Band, introduced last month, hosts a slew of amazing sensors, but like so many wearable computing devices, users are unable to access their own data. A Brown University professor decompiles the app, finds that the data is transmitted to the Microsoft "cloud", and explains how to intercept the traffic to retrieve the raw minute-by-minute data captured by the Band.

    Except they lose sync after a minute or so, thus after 2 minutes 30 seconds they're all playing a different song.

    Hence the maximum duration being limited to 2 minutes 30 seconds.
