They also just introduced a heartrate monitor to work with the app. Additionally, it includes a web profile that tracks your info so you can view it on a larger screen.

There are some reviews complaining of accuracy, but in the three or four times I have used it so far its within 1/100 of a mile over a distance of 4 miles. I used it on a PT test course a couple weeks ago and it was within 1/100 at each 1/4 mile sign.

It's pretty sweet.
Sounds like you've got a good post for the app thread

On a more serious note, if it works off of GPS does that mean that you can only use it on the Iphone?
