Up in App World at MWC (Barcelona) were Endomondo who offer a training app for various sports such as running, walking, cycling, golfing, skiing and many more. The app is available for a range of devices running Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, iPhone and others. Once registered (for free) on their website you can create new logs recording the type of sport and the date etc. Locations are logged every 10 seconds with either instant upload to the server or you can choose to cache it and send it later – for example if you have a limited data plan.

On the website you can view all your previous tracks as well as historical data to see how (if?) you’ve improved and also see your friends logs. The maps can be easily shared via the likes of Twitter and Facebook. Continue reading »

What do you do first thing in the morning?  Well during my first cuppa I like to think about something to kick-start my mind for the day ahead.

Zen Proverb

One of my favorite applications to do this is Daily Zen.  This has 50 inspirational proverbs to ponder.

Each day you are presented with a new proverb and there are enough of them for nearly 2 whole months.

I must admit that this is not a complex or even a comprehensive application, but then Zennism is a minimalist doctrine and the way is not cluttered with meaningless complications.

Available from the Apple AppStore for $0.99 or £0.59 I consider it somewhat overpriced for a free application this would be good, but after a while you have exhausted the store of proverbs leaving you feeling a little empty.
