au Sportio W63T is your new running buddy

au Sportio W63T

Name: au Sportio W63T
Category: mobile phone
Price: Open price
Release date in Japan: June 14, 2008

KDDI is now offering the Toshiba-made CDMA 1X WIN "Sportio" (W63T) mobile phone. Designed expressly for the "au Smart Sports" service, the new Sportio (whose name is said to combine "sports" with the Latin "actio") looks roughly like an iPod (with added cell phone keys in an unorthodox layout) and packs in the features for exercise nuts.

First, you enter your personal data (height, weight, etc.) into the Smart Sports application. Then, with a touch of the SS (Smart Sports) Key, you can easily active a stopwatch or the built-in Smart Sports Run & Walk application, which tracks steps, distance, average speed, and calories burned for current and past running sessions, all aided by Sportio's three-axis motion sensor. (Run & Walk and Sportio's GPS also let you map out your runs online.) Even without activating Run & Walk, Sportio will automatically watch your current motion, displaying steps, distance, and calories on the idle screen. If you'd like a running coach, Sportio offers BEAT RUN, a musical soundtrack for your jog that changes as you match its tempo.

(Don't accidentally delete that Smart Sports Run & Walk application. Some bug prevents re-downloading the app to a Sportio; au expects to have this fixed soon.)

Like the iPod's collaboration with Nike, Sportio has also signed up a big-name pal: Adidas, which will soon offer sportswear and armbands designed to complement the Sportio look.

Other specs: 2.2-inch 240x320 TFT screen, 1.96-megapixel camera, microSD card slot (max 2GB), Bluetooth. Missing from the feature list are 1-seg TV and "saifu keitai" electronic wallet. Available in orange, black, green, white, and red.
