Nokia Step Counter got its first update today. Here’s what Ole Kirkeby from the Step Counter team posted on Nokia BetaLabs :

Our first update of the Nokia Step Counter, which was originally released on May 9th 2008, offers two significant improvements frequently requested by users on the Beta Labs blog: better power management and support for some new S60 products. Here is a list of the new features.
* Support for the following S60 products: N95, N95 8GB, N82, N93i, 6210, N79, N85, N96
* Export of step data in CSV format (in Diary, select Options -> Export To File)
* Sound notifications (in Settings, General, Sound Notification. Use your own alert sounds by replacing alertsteps.aac and alerttarget.aac in E:/StepCounter/AlertSounds)
Furthermore, you can add text entries to workouts indirectly through the Nokia Wellness Diary which automatically imports summary data from the Step Counter (and Nokia Sports Tracker).
We have been working frantically to get this release out before Christmas but with quite a few phone models to support we have not had as much time as we would have liked for testing, and there are still a couple of outstanding problems we need to look at. Highest on our list is support for the E66 as well as more efficient power management on the N96 which does not give us as great a saving as we had hoped

You can download the application on the Step Counter page on BetaLabs.
