SoundofMotion adds another handy application that can be integrated with Android smartphones with the release of VeloComputer7. This latest software virtually transforms mobile phones into GPS and tracking devices, a useful addition for the cyclists who often embark on long journeys.

It comes with a built-in accelerometer and all a cyclist has to do is attach the phone to his bike or his tights and he can get the proper navigation support. Likewise, it helps keep track of the pedaling done by the person, the built-in accelerometer detects up and down leg motion and calculates cadence in rotations per minute or RPM. This technology frees the bicycle from any sensors on a crankshaft.

VeloComputer is now available on Android Market, BlackBerry App World and Sony-Ericsson PlayNow Arena in 9 languages and retails for $14.95.
