I was wondering if anyone had information about this.

It looks like it ties to Microsoft HealthVault. That is not available in Canada. It appears (from the outside) that MS sold the "rights" to HealthVault to Telus, whom did absolute nothing with it. Does anyone know, is that the right read of the situation? Can MS ever offer HealthVault to Canada or will we have to hope that Telus will?

Also, to the people below. As far as I can see, even a service to forward the hardware from the US to Canada, this probably will not work. If you register your live account in Canada (which you probably would, so you can put a CC on it) then you will not be able to active HealthVault on your live account - it will send you to a Telus page.

Oh. Huh. This was the first product that I would have entered a Microsoft Store to look at. I might have even bought one.

You've just saved me a trip. Thanks!

ugh, I wasn't even thinking that far. That is unfortunate.
