RunKeeper Now Indefinitely Free

January - 27 - 2011 - Thursday 2 COMMENTS



Back on the first of the year, we let you know that RunKeeper, a popular fitness tracking application, would be available for free until the end of January. The company has decided to keep it free and will not resort back to the $10 application price it featured previously.

The feature-packed app allows users to track their runs, bike rides and other activities via GPS and track all of their fitness goals. It has been so popular across both iOS and Android platforms that it was named one of the top-grossing apps of 2010.

Now that there is no fee to get started, they have not stated how they will be making revenue as the full Pro version is now available for free. Expect additional paid server-based features as well as more advanced training programs available in the near future. All in all, what is better than RunKeeper, and what can be better than free?

Currently, Android OS-based smartphones can only run software stored in their internal memory, which severely restricts the number of apps that can be installed. Google intends to remove this limitation, though.

Android

Android devices have slots for removable memory cards, but these can’t be used to hold software that’s been installed on the device. Instead, apps go into a small internal partition that’s not directly accessible by users. This was done to prevent users from easily pirating software, but it also restricts the number of apps that can be installed.

After yesterday’s unveiling of Android OS 2.1, Google’s revealed a plan to allow users to install software onto a removable memory card in an encrypted form. This will both prevent easy piracy while also allowing users to store many gigabytes of app files.

At this point, it’s not clear when this feature will be add to the Android OS. The fact that a Google executive is willing to talk about it in public is a sign that it could be relatively soon, though.
