We'll it's kind of obvious that you need GPS on for all the tracking.

It's obvious from his shoes, funning form, and figure that the host is not an "avid" runner. Spare me the whining about the GPS, stop reading from the prompter.
Do you really think that people who subscribe to an app podcast AND own an Android phone are too dumb to miss these points? This show does not respect it's audience.

I think its kinda funny that there is even an app like this for Droid users. Do you really think that people who subscribe to an app podcast AND own an Android phone are too dumb to miss these points? This show does not respect it's audience.
How hard is it to track the trip from your Mom's basement to the fridge anyway?

Personally, I switched from buddy runner to Cardio Trainer. It doesnt feature the elevation graph in Cardio Trainer, but contains comparision of other runner with my same distance. Sort of giving my competitive "timing" as compared to other runners.
U can also use it for indoor excercises and cycling. Perhaps Ron can compare a few of these apps. I love the episodes on taskiller where he compares 3 similar apps.
Keep it up Ron!
