Sports Tracker Updated v1.76 with Video Support.!

Improvements

1) Implemented small tweaks and improvements based on user feedback.
2) Put a separate version available for Nokia S60 3.2 phones
3) COOL: added support for video clips! This works the same way as with photos: start NST, just take videos and photos like you would normally do. After stopping recording, go to training diary and upload your track to the service; videos and photos are automatically scanned and uploaded to web. Video clips might be large, therefore a flat rate data connection is recommended. Also feel free to experiment with recording quality to see which resolution/bitrate fits your purpose best.
Happy tracking, folks!

Caught this over on SG from Dotsisx.



Nseries Widget Brings Video Support

The Nseries Sports Tracker widget or as Nokia officially likes to call it “Maps + Photography” widget has been recently updated to bring Video support. To those of you who don’t know it, this widget is linked to your Sports Tracker account and fetches your recent routes as well as the images and the videos that you just took with Sports Tracker, and shows them on a map.

The widget can be embedded on your sites like Faceboo, Blogger, NetVibes… and if your blog or platform doesn’t seem to be supported, just click on the Blogger one, and copy the html code, that should work everywhere mostly. This should allow your friends to track your exercise paths, as well as the media that you take during these activities.

The video support caused the widget to be named “Maps + Photography + Video” which is such a shame. Nokia has some work to do to get a decent name for their services: neither the widget nor the Sports Tracker application have a good name, and we all know that a good name is part of a good marketing.

In any case, you can grab the new widget, try it for yourself and tell us what you think. I will be putting it through its paces tomorrow.

Anyone tried this out yet?
