The Taxi Walker Pedometer is a Japanese invention that combines the calorie and distance measurements of a regular pedometer, but integrates a meter displaying the monetary savings that would have been spent on a taxi fare for the same distance.
This device is programmable, and can calculate cab fares depending on your geographical location. It also has the ability to make sound effects whenever a cab fare increases.
As pictured here, this fancy gadget is available in yellow, orange, white, or black for the price of $29.00.
