The Droid phone continues to astound me. All that technology and capability in such a tiny little device! One of the apps I just downloaded - and will try tomorrow - is "
Cardiotrainer". It uses the GPS and accelerometers to track your location and, if running or jogging, your steps. It then does various analysis, can upload to a website, or even post to Facebook.
It will even provide you with voice-prompts. Time intervals, speed intervals, and a "race-against-yourself" feature which will compare your current track to a previous track, and tell you how far ahead or behind you are.
The only downside I've noticed so far is the snooty British man voice. I miss the sultry Garmin GPS babe voice: "Please drive the indicated route....recalculating. Please drive the indicated route...recalculating. You are such a man, you never listen to me. Recalculating, you ignorant SOB. Drive where I tell you!"
So far, it looks like it's only available for Android phones. But if you're cool, you have one so this is not a problem. I'm sure the iPhone has plenty of similar apps, if you're into that whole iPhone thing.
