Nokia’s been pushing its exercise logging solution, Sports Tracker, for a while now — but compared to dedicated fitness computers from companies like Suunto, Garmin, and Polar, it’s not quite as useful since you can’t automatically record your heart rate. For serious health nuts, that’s a deal-breaker right there, but rumor has [...]
