Review: Critics: Games: ON THE MOVE: LATEST APPS
(Observer (UK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BlackBerrys have been having a hard time of late. Once everybody's favourite fruit-based smartphone, Apple came along and knocked them off their perch. With the launch of the new touchscreen Z10 handset, RIM is hoping it can make the BlackBerry brand relevant again. A key part of this is expanding its app offerings beyond the business-based downloads it's known for.
Endomondo Sports Tracker (free) is a pocket personal trainer that tracks exercises, from running to skiing. Using the phone's GPS it monitors distance, speed and duration to calculate calories burnt. It also allows users to challenge friends and give peptalks as they train.
Yoga at Work (Stress Reliever) (Dawnsun, pounds 1.50) offers a more sedate form of exercise. With a combination of videos and written instructions, it guides the user through a series of exercises which can be done in your office chair. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide an automated service to explain to those around you why you're twisting around like a T rex trying to put on a rucksack.
