Today's Story Highlights

Fitbit Shares Surge on Healthy Downloads
Fitbit shares earlier this week climbed several percentage points after
the company's app topped the iOS charts over the Christmas holiday. The
Fitbit app was the top free app downloaded from Apple's App Store on
Christmas Day. It was already the most downloaded app in the store's
fitness and health category. It wasn't just downloads that told the
story of Fitbit's success, however.

Smart Homes Meet Connected Cars: X Marks the Spot
Several factors have contributed to the sudden expansion of connected
car services available or coming to the market, notably the expansion of
mobile broadband networks, high penetration of smartphones, and
automakers' re-evaluation of connected services as a competitive
advantage. Crossover between connected car and smart home ecosystems
offers a unique opportunity for the ecosystem players.

Amazon Burns Through Previous Holiday Records
Amazon on Monday reported a record competition-shattering performance
during the Christmas holiday, adding more than 3 million Amazon Prime
members last week alone. Holiday sales of Prime devices more than
doubled last year's record number, the company said. The Prime Now
program, which offers free two-hour delivery in 20-cities across the
country, broke records on Christmas Eve.
