Pedometer is a widget to know the distance and speed that travel with our Nokia N900. With the pedometer application we can know both the distance, time and partial speed, as the time and total distance, and the average speed that you walk or run.
You can set various parameters of this great application to make it to your liking. In future upgrades, its author, promises a meter calories consumed 
.
Pedometer is available in the Extras-Devel repository. To learn more about repositories, click here.
Great! Check out Symbians step counter, a great app with progress weekly and calories…….
Do ya thing:-)
The idea of using the phone’s acceleration
sensors for a pedometer is great.
The implementation sucks, though.
The current implementation counts almost
shake as a step, which obviously makes
the counted numbers differ heavily from
the reality.
When not walking at all, but shaking the
device in ones hand, it counts steps that
were never really there.
Similarly transporting the device in
a car on a bumpy road will cause extra
steps to be counted.
OTOH when really walking or running the
application does not count all the steps.
So, in short it is currently impossible
to set the sensitivity of the pedometer
application such that it could count the
steps properly.
The method for detecting a step should
apparently be a bit more complex.
One should estimate the average g-force
direction and then expect some roughly
horizontal movement and a roughly
vertical stomp to count a step.
