Device Testing iSMARTtrain V4


Back from Lanzarote, and finally got around to writing about our time at Club La Santa. Weather was excellent apart from one day with really heavy rain and gale force winds. One thing I wasn’t expecting were the hills! It was a 20 – 30 minute climb on the bike from Club La Santa until…
We’re making our annual pilgrimage to London to go to the TCR ’05 exhibition (http://swimcyclerun.co.uk) at Sandown Park this weekend. It gives me a chance to stock up on triathlon goodies for the coming season and to meet up with Joe (http://www.jbst.com) and some of our customers. Hopefully, I’ll also get time to visit the…
As well as V4 of iSMARTtrain for the Mac, you may be aware that we’re also working on an iPad version. The iPad version will have all the features of the Mac version, with the exception of downloading from most training devices. Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t allow us access to USB subsystem to read from most of…
Our software is gets a little mention in this month’s Silent Sports magazine. Lee Borowski, the writer, contacted us about some problems he was having with his older Polar HRM (Pre S-Series), and I managed to get him quickly up-and-running. You can view the write-up here.
Discovered a Yahoo group for the Polar S625x HRM when browsing through my access logs. Contains a heap of good info on the watch and calibrating it, etc. Find it at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/S625x/.
We got a new Polar S625x a couple of weeks ago, and I must say I’m very impressed with it. It’s my fifth Polar unit. For those of you not familar with it, it’s one of Polar’s latest Heart Rate Monitors. In addition to the usual heart rate data, it records both running and cycling…

Can’t wait to see 4.0 Steward!
What? Something is happening? I’d finally reached the point of assuming that iSMARTtrain was dead and have been looking for alternatives. Sorry for the snark, but I’d really like to move on to a device more recent than my decrepit 11 year old Polar. I’d love to stay with iSMARTtrain. If the product is still alive, give us an ETA for the update and what devices it will support.
Hi,
No ETA yet – hoping to open the beta testing up to more users later this month – at the moment, I’m using a handful of testers to hopefully get the majority of bugs ironed out.
V4.0 will support all the Garmin devices, Cycleops Joule & Cervo, SRM PC V, VI & VII and all the Polar devices that V3 supported. I hope to support the newer Polar devices and the Suunto ones, but this may be through their websyncing software.

Will V4.0 go with my “Polar RC3GPS”? I’m looking for a software like iSMARTtrain! Can you send me a message, when it’s ready?
