Some more suggestions for holiday mobile fun, particularly for those of
you sporting types lucky enough to have scored a Nokia N95 8GB or other
GPS-enabled smartphone under the tree... how about tracking your
sledding fun on the slopes with your mobile and sports tracker (keep
that phone dry though ;0)
I had some holiday fun with the kids recently as we used Nokia Sports Tracker and my Nokia N95 to track and save our sled rides down the slopes. Before we started down the slope I simply
fired up sports tracker, got a GPS signal, slipped it into Megan's
pocket and away she went. Her average speed up and down the slope was
4.8 kmph (slowed somewhat by the walk back up the hill1) and her maximum speed down the slope was a whopping 26.1 kmph (about 16 mph)... loads of fun!
