Your N95 is in Your Pocket All the Time Anyway

I can’t think of better way of using your N95 without “using it”. I would think this is the most useful accelerometer software I’ve got so far.

Ever wanted to know how much you walk or run as you go about your daily life? The Nokia Step Counter not only counts your steps, it also determines the distance you have covered and your energy expenditure. You can even compare your activity levels on different days by looking up the summaries stored in a handy diary.

Want to know how it all works? Your steps are measured by analyzing the output from an accelerometer in your S60 mobile device. All you have to do is carry your phone around with you whenever you move, for example in a pocket of your clothing, attached to a belt or your upper arm, or in a handbag worn over your shoulder.

Known issues: (don’t worry, we’ll fix these)

• If you have the Activity Monitor from research.nokia.com on your phone, remove it before installing the Nokia Step Counter (added 12.05.2008)
• Height and weight must be entered in cm and kg regardless of whether Metric Units is chosen in Settings -> User
• If the scheduler is disabled and the Step Counter is run past midnight statistics might be incorrectly allocated to different days
