Nokia Sports Tracker keeps evolving fast: now you can share video clips from your jogging routes journeys.

As All About Symbian, Symbian Guru and The Symbian Blog note, people’s creative misuse of Sports Tracker - and the consequent improvements done by the development team - have lead to the strange situation in which the original name “Sports Tracker” might not be serving its purpose too well anymore… Or what do you think?

We just had a cup of coffee with Ykä Huhtala and Jussi Kaasinen, the dynamic duo behind Nokia Sports Tracker. Or actually, it was a latte, as we were humbly celebrating our story being picked up by BusinessWeek in the article How Nokia Users Drive Innovation (good one!!).

This is good. The Sports Tracker success case and BusinessWeek’s blessing gives our user-driven-innovation approach a truckload of credibility, hopefully facilitating the whole Nokia transformation.

Anyway, as the discussion rambled on, Ykä raised a question… Does anybody know who has created this YouTube video?

It’s a nice marketing video about Sprorts Tracker, filmed in Curacao - the beautiful island where I happened to spend my honeymoon two years ago. The Sports Tracker team would like to get a high-quality version of this video for marketing purposes, but strangely enough, nobody seems to know who has created it.

Dear LazyWeb: if you have a clue, please drop us an email.

The long-awaited (yes, we heard you) E61 version of Nokia Sports Tracker beta is finally available for download.

Release notes here.

Go get it, tiger.

 Ps. if you find yourself too lazy for sports stuff, you can also try it while sailing or flying around.

Darn, I missed the scoop, as Eseries.org and All About Symbian broke the news already. Yeah, it’s true: significantly improved Nokia Sports Tracker beta is out. And it’s good.

You can try it at http://sportstracker.nokia.com/.

We haven’t updated the Beta Labs page for Sports Tracker yet, I’ll try to get it done tomorrow. However, feel free to start sending us feedback already now!! It’s still in beta, and the team is actively improving everything based on your feedback.

In the meanwhile, check out the presentation by Jussi Kaasinen, one of the main guys from the Sports Tracker team: (starts from 5:42)
