Phone Training

I was pointed to an NYTimes article about a new service for mobile phones (thanks, Christine)—that uses assisted GPS (cell-tower signal-strength enhanced satellite GPS) to give a subscriber excersise stats. A subscriber has the option of uploading the data to the web. And of course, it's for select Sprint/Nextel phones only.

It's good to see these services coming out—hopefully the exclusive proprietary, crippled nature of location-awareness for mobile-phones will be a thing of the past. Developers need easy access. Period.
