Sportsdo is looking to leverage your GPS-enabled Pocket PC or Smartphone into a full tracking system for your outdoor exploits, whether it be cycling, biking, running, snowboarding, or skiing. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/snowdo_ppc.gif" /><br /><br />Think of these applications as an advanced digital pedometer, providing you with a full set of real-time metrics such as elapsed time, speed, gradient, calories burned, distance covered, and altitude. The Sportsdo products will also allow you to keep a log of your entire progression as you go, so you can review your progress afterwards. In fact, while you can view all this information real-time, I would think it would the bigger benefit would be for logging and post-event review (unless you like the idea of looking at your PPC while you're snowboarding). These applications don't come cheap at £30 GBP (~$55 USD). On the other hand, they are highly niche applications, so it would be difficult to get this functionality elsewhere. The full set of apps include <a href="http://www.cycledo.info/comingsoon.aspx">Cycledo</a>, <a href="http://www.bikedo.info/comingsoon.aspx">Bikedo</a>, <a href="http://www.rundo.info/comingsoon.aspx">Rundo</a>, <a href="http://www.snowdo.info/comingsoon.aspx">Snowdo</a>, or <a href="http://www.skido.info/comingsoon.aspx">Skido</a>. Now with that said, I'm not sure what benefit you would get from buying more than one of these applications as each one seems to track the same metrics.
