application that would help people train better and connect with each other. The Nokia Sports
Tracker Beta was launched in 2007 gathering a huge global following as the first application
of it's kind to hit smart phones. The current company Sports Tracking Technologies was
founded in 2009 after a successful spin-off from Nokia.
