Workout software for windows mobile?

Hi there,
I had a discussion with my brother on his new iphone and he showed me a software to keep track of his sit up, push up, .... and what ever sessions. It would use the gsensor to count and also check the angle of the situps and correct if necessary.
Now it annoyed me I don't have anything like that on my HD2. Is there anything similar somewhere?
Thanks
Michael

What is the name of that specific app with the gsensor count?
I wish there were some decent work out loggers for us winmo gym guys.

Can't remember sorry. I was so mad about the fact that the iphone users have it and I don't so I forgot about it ;-)

had seen this already, however if I understand it correctly this is just a tracker where I can enter manually. I would like an app where I can "wear" my mobile and the app tracks push ups and situps automatically.

that app would great... i honestly envy iphone users for this kind of practical apps. on the other hand, there is a nice app (not exactly what you want) that you might to take a look at: MyPersonalDiet from VidaOne. Hope it helps.

Official Engadget App

about an hour ago i was skimming through the new apps in the marketplace and came upon an engadget app (not engadget reader). I went ahead and downloaded it. Right off the bat i could tell this was the official engadget app. Great metro ui integration, very smooth interface and offered podcast and videos integrated into the app. I was a little suspicious of the app and whether or not it was the official one, but it had an about page with all the copyright info from engadget. Right before typing this I searched once more for this app and it seems that it has been pulled from the marketplace as well as the engadget reader.
Did anyone else download this app before it was pulled?

It's unfortunate that it got pulled down before I could get it. I have the Engadget reader and it's lacking. I want an official Engadget app ASAP!
Good to hear about it being smooth with metro UI integration though.

I managed to get it before it disappeared.
Wonder what got it yanked?

What is it like, screenshots?
Microsoft seems to be really strict about their guidelines. They have guidelines for everything from User Interface to how long u have for the app to load/resume to distributing it on the marketplace, lol.

I believe this link should do, but it's not there for download:
http://redirect.zune.net/External/L...oneAppID=e32911a0-472d-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Link may not work in browsers other than IE. It didn't work in my version of Opera.

I got it. Settings button restarts it, might be why they pulled it so it's fixed. Give it a go and see if it's the same for you.

Ok it wasn't an offical Engadget app or they would have had an artical on it. much like all the BBC apps none are offical BBC apps. the apps that Engadget has for IOS and Android are offical. from what I was told they will be having one soon but it wasn't that app.

which phone do you have? Maybe it's restricted to HTC or some other device. Maybe limited to a country? Still no download for me.

Yeah, it is official, but it is buggy.
App restarts whenever you hit the Settings button.

I deleted to the unofficial Engadget app for the official Engadget app.
It seems the unofficial app was pulled down too

The screenshots make it look sort of ugly compared to the Android and iOS versions of the app. For anyone who has it, what do you guys think?

Go figure. Engadget is pro iPhone and Android. Not sure what are their motivation to create this app, and now I see why.

Definitely official, I can even read and post comments from it.

I have been trying to get this app since it was discovered on the 16th. My guess is that it was released, found to be buggy, and then pulled back. One thing about the WP7 marketplace is that Microsoft actually QA's the apps during the approval process. Android, never. Apple, yes. But it is to look for anti-apple or sexy stuff(j/k).
My buddy has been trying to get his WP7 GPS app approved for quite some time now. It keeps getting rejected for various QA and functionality requirements that keeps the WP7 ecosystem efficient and functional. So props to Microsoft for being sticklers about the quality of apps released(the purpose and types of apps release is another thing).
In case people want to keep checking for the app, here's the link to Zune d/l: http://ow.ly/3ZWl0

The Android Engadget App is anything but pretty when it comes to reading and posting comments. Nested comments in an endless 2 character column of text FTW?

The ATRIX 4G lagged its way to a 9/10 (or was it 9.5?) on Engadget and I believe the Galaxy S[hit] got a pretty high score as well even though its lag and GPS issues were well-known at the point of review...

Is it not in your games hub? The new version is put there for some reason. It shouldn't be removed from your phone.

Tweetcaster by handmark.
I'm sure very few people see this app,i think it is just up on marketplace for few hours.I have it working on my mozart,it is the fastest twitter app so far,faster than birdsong motweet and rowi.Furthermore,no issue while exiting from the built in browser.
Hope it can back to the marketplace soon.

How much did it cost. I mean the version that isn't Ad-Infested I stopped using Ad-Ware months ago.
Birdsong has Toast and Live Tile Notifications now. Does Tweetcaster have that?

Now that my apps are Magoed...

Actually after today's Prime Tv Mango update I noticed that...
It's great...

With the exception of LazyTube, all of my apps are flipping on my screen, pretty enjoyable tbh

Does rowi have a flipping live tile? Mine doesn't.. It doesn't use mango features, it doesn't appear in the background tasks list.

It does have a flipping live tile. But it doesn't require a background agent, since it's still being updated via push. Which I consider great, because it's almost instant after a message or mention is recieved. Background agents only pull every thirty minutes.

Patience, mate. LazyTube 3.0 is on its way. And it's gonna be awesome as far as I can tell from what I've seen.

Im not too sure what rowi you are using but mine has a static live tile(rowi version 1.5) its push notification like you said is top not tho,almost instant. thats one of the few mango apps that i have that does not flip, thinking about it,i dont think rowi has been updating to mango yet because it still shows the resuming ... when you switch back to it.

flipping live tiles are lame, need some other effects :/

I use 1.5. Flip tile shows up when you receive a mention. The backside shows the first few words of the tweet and the image of the user who mentioned you on the background.

Actually that is constructive criticism. Some developers have a fliping live tile just for the sake of it (Flixster app first comes to mind) and yes other effects would be cool. Also developers can't change the size of the police when having text at the back of a tile so in some instances it's useless because you get cut off text (like having half the title of an article, what is this good for?).
Does anyone know if developers can use the curtain effect that's on the Me tile? That's a least one variant that I'd like to see more.

Even so it still has no place in a thread created to glorify this feature. I do sometimes in fact just watch the tiles on my start screen or groups. If he wanted to he could've started his own thread talking about that.

Geez.
That is not constructive criticism. Fiya likes the way his phone looks with all the tiles flipping.
I personally would not want several different animations for the tiles. I like uniformity. But it would be interesting for diversity if you could set how a tile animates or turn them off. Flexibility in this case won't be a bad thing.

rowi flips when you receive a mention or message, it'll flip with the profile picture of the last person and a portion of the tweet. I think it's a rolling activation though, as I got it about 4 days after other people.

Cool, go say that nonsense in a thread titled "Crap I don't like about Mango/WinPhone" - I created this topic to discuss the enjoyment of the tiles, not some response of them being "lame." This is the type of stuff I'm talking about, you cannot have a single enjoyable thread on this horribly moderated board.

You guys are funny. Reporting his post because he said flipping tiles are boring?
Anyway, if anyone actually read my post I tried to develop his argument and asked an interesting question that no one answered and that wasn't a criticism.

[APP] FBMetro, a Mini Facebook App

Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?

Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure

After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.

nice, where can I get it?

It's coming, very soon!

and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)

question
hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english

Cool App!!

I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!
