I own and use Argus (on the Iphone), FitBit and a Garmin Forerunner and in that order. The way I "teach" Argus is to first create a sample set of data and add it as an "new" exercise. In your case, I would count the number of jumps you do in a minute, obtain the calories burned online, and feed both into Argus. With Garmin afaik you cannot do that. FitBit has a funky "Steps climbed". I don't know what to make of the number it shows.
Is this too hard to make? Shouldn't 3 axis accelerometer be able to do it out of the box, if you program it?
If somebody from these companies is reading... this is a killer feature! Lots of people jump and would throw money at you if you can integrate it into a fitness app.
Suunto supports third party "apps" and has a "rope skipping" app[1]. Can't vouch for its accuracy (I'm personally more interested in hiking/climbing features), but it exists.
