I was a very early adopter - and advocate - of the Nike+iPod system. Apple and Nike developed an easy and fun way to track running data on the iPod nano and the Nikeplus.com website. Unfortunately, as Apple’s product line advanced into phone and touch territory, the Nike+ system remained stagnant. Not only is the [...]

RunKeeper, a GPS-based training assistant for runners and cyclists, has been approved by Apple and is available on the iTunes App Store as of tonight. I’m downloading it now, but since it’s just after midnight here in California I won’t be going out for a run until the morning. I’ll post my first impressions soon.
Runkeeper [...]

RunKeeper, the forthcoming GPS-based run tracking app for iPhone, has a shiny new FAQ to tide us over while we all wait for App Store approval.
Some interesting nuggets:

RunKeeper only works with 3G iPhones (because the original iPhones don’t have GPS).
RunKeeper can run for 3 hours on one battery charge (if you follow their battery-saving [...]

A quick update to yesterday’s post: RunKeeper has uploaded a much clearer video of their upcoming GPS fitness/tracking iPhone application. Not only is the new video in focus, but it also shows route maps on the companion web interface.
No pricing details announced yet, but you can sign up to receive more info on their [...]

The first of what I hope will be many GPS running applications for iPhone has been submitted to the iPhone App Store and is awaiting approval. RunKeeper uses the iPhone’s built-in GPS to track your distance, speed, time, and route. The (blurry) video below shows the basic features of what seems to be a pretty [...]

The native Wordpress app for iPhone
was added to the iTunes App Store tonight… And I’m loving it. I won’t be using it to write many long posts, but it should help with my posting frequency.
The best feature: Adding photos and screen grabs from the phone to my posts.
Bonus: Multiple blog support.
Missing: An easy [...]

Yesterday, I posted an item from Gizmodo explaining the benefits of the iPhones A-GPS vs. plain old GPS. Within minutes of my posting, Giz removed the article.
Today, Giz is back with a new article about the iPhone’s GPS. It looks like it’s been re-written from top to bottom, but the gist is the same: iPhone [...]

Walt Mossberg’s review of Samsung’s Instinct phone in today’s Wall Street Journal is the kind of article that almost makes me ashamed to be an Apple fan. As an iPhone enthusiast, I’m always interested in reading about competing products — and am always secretly delighted when reviewers point out that the iPhone still reigns [...]

Though I haven’t paid much attention to the Nike+iPod Sport Kit in recent months, every time a high-profile Apple event rolls around I secretly hope for an announcement (or even a mention) of the popular running gadget. I’ve almost stopped being disappointed by the silence. Almost.
At Apple’s WWDC this past Monday, I really wanted to [...]

Now think about how often you need to see a message immediately or the world will end. How many of those times will somebody trust such a critical message only to e-mail, where it can get caught up by a spam filter or lost in the general clutter of your inbox? Using one of the [...]

Hidden among all of the iPhone 3G announcements today was this press release from AT&T that confirms the unlimited 3G data plan will cost $30 per month; an increase of $10 per month over the current unlimited Edge plan.
From the press release:
With a two-year contract, the price of an 8GB iPhone 3G will be $199; [...]

The Wall Street Journal just posted this article:
“Facing a backlash from early buyers of the iPhone, Apple Inc. said it would issue a $100 credit for Apple Stores to iPhone users who paid full price for the product.
The move, announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs in a letter posted on Apple’s Web site, was meant [...]
