Track your runs on the iPhone 3G soon with RunKeeper
I know, we’re all sick and tired of hearing about iPhone 3G news but this one is important to folks like Kevin who is now running competitively again. A program that will be appearing in the iPhone App Store soon will let Kevin track his runs using the integrated GPS and keep track of all the pertinent data for training purposes. Of course, Kevin will have to get a new iPhone 3G but maybe this will be the push he needs to get up-to-date.
RunKeeper tracks the runner’s speed and pace and map all runs using the GPS. You can leave your email address on the web site for the developers to inform you when to expect RunKeeper to appear in the App Store. No word on pricing yet.
