Here’s one for the iPhone ownin’ exercise fans who at the same time love Nike brand and their sports equipment…
The number 1 Health and Wellness app on iTunes, Nike+ GPS, which uses accelerometer and GPS to track your running routes, MPH and calories burned, has been updated recently. The main new thing of this release is a neat Facebook integration. If you write that you’re going for a run on Facebook, your buddies can now “cheer you on,” prompting stadium applause to play in your headphones during a workout.
The new feature works in conjunction of the existing voice-prompted encouragements, which is a Powersong feature to give you a boost…
And that’s about it. If you’re into running around the city (or around your area), Nike+ GPS is one of the apps worth considering buying for your iPhone. Similar apps that are available in the AppStore include Jog Log, LogYourRun, iRun, Runmeter and RunKeeper.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
