As a followup to WANTED: Two N8 Cameraphone apps with settings locked: default + hyperfocal street photography, here's my N8 cameraphone picture taking workflow (I have been doing this since 2008 and as a result have far over 50000 cameraphone pictures :-) !) while bicycling to work:
- N8 is on a lanyard around my neck
- I see something interesting
- I take the picture using the N8 built-in cameraphone app custom setting (my custom mode is the default settings with flash turned off)
- I drop the phone gently and it bounces harmlessly on my chest
- I continue bicycling
- Goto step 2
I would like an app with the touchscreen off because sometimes I accidentally trigger the photo editor.
I would like an app that locks out other apps because sometimes I accidentally quit out of the camera app. During my ride I don't use any other apps.

I don't believe in the Quantified Self fad but I do believe in tracking how far I go bicycling. And the Cyclemeter iPhone App / Daily Mile social "workout" community does a great job as you can see in the screenshot above. I have turned off the CycleMeter feature which tells you if you are are "worse" or "better" than median or average because I don't believe in "racing" especially when commuting to work by bicycling; better to enjoy your bike ride rather than yak shaving about a few seconds here and there. Sure would be nice if there was a standard to share data among bicycling tracking apps so I could see all of my bicycling which is spread across Sports Tracker (700+ "workouts"), RunKeeper (176 "workouts") and now Cyclemeter (86 "workouts").
Next up in April or May: try the new iPhone or Android version of SportsTracker
