Sports Tracker Coming to Real Phones Soon!
5March 30, 2011
The guys who inspired this blog made a quiet announcement last week about the future of Sports Tracker; She’s coming to Android and iPhone! Yes, perhaps the first app of its kind to be called Sports Tracker will finally make its way into the Android Marketplace and App Store “sometime” this Spring. “Sometime”, because these guys have a solid reputation for teasing and delays. However, this announcement is excellent news and I’m thrilled for what they could bring to the competition.
There was a time when it was called Nokia Sports Tracker Beta and its core dev team was affectionately known as the Sports Tracker Dudes. Ah, the memories! None finer for me than winning the grand prize in the n79 Active Edition Draw a Heart contest. But the Sports Tracker Dudes split from Nokia early last year, forming their own company in Sports More >

Sports Tracker NEWS
17April 14, 2010
A new version of Sports Tracker became available today in the Ovi Store for S60 touch-screen mobiles. Soon after the app was added to the store I received a call from Jussi Kaasinen, one of the developer/owners of Sports Tracking Technologies Ltd (STT for short on my blog) I was informed of the new release and asked to share some details of our conversation as official Sports Tracker news. There aren’t volumes of information to report, nevertheless its great to hear from our friends after such a long winter of silence.
Beginning with platform support, Jussi said that in addition to today’s release we should expect new versions for all S60 mobiles in the coming weeks. He says, “We are now giving all necessary attention and support to S60, as there are millions of existing users out there to More >
Nokia Sports Tracker Update: Sports Tracking Technologies
5October 21, 2009
I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring news to the Nokia Sports Tracker Beta migration to Sports Tracking Technologies issue!
I received a surprise phone call two days ago from Jussi Kaasinen, one of the two-person core team of developers responsible for bringing the Nokia Sports Tracker Beta project to us since March of 2007. Together with the other half of that team, Ykä Huhtala, they founded their own company named Sports Tracking Technologies back in June of this year. Jussi told me that his call was partly in response to my earlier post and partly just to touch base with a long-standing user of the service.
Jussi wanted me to let everyone know that the Sports Tracking Technologies (STT) incarnation is very much alive and kicking, and that they have appreciated More >
My First Week With the N79 Active Edition
0May 10, 2009
I won the N79 Active Edition Grand Prize through Nokia’s “Track a Heart” contest! It arrived about a week ago and, now that I’ve had some time with it, I’m going to share my experiences here.
This review will mostly cover the experiences unique to the N79 Active Edition, including the Polar for Nokia Bluetooth heart rate belt.
First, I have to thank Nokia Innovations and the NST Dudes (as they affectionately refer to themselves) for providing me with the N79 Active Edition (hereafter N79AE).
Regarding the N79 handset itself, detailed reviews have been around for quite a while, so I’ll make this brief. The N79AE only differs from the standard N79 by adding an arm pouch and the Polar for Nokia heart rate belt (hereafter Polar4Nokia). My first impressions of the handset are very favorable and its S60 3rd ed fp2 is a nice upgrade from my former E61. More >
