Runtastic Story Running and Libra fitness scale unveiled Oct 31st 2013, 14:25, by Robert Nelson Runtastic has returned with another set of app updates. This latest touches on the free and pro (paid) versions of the regular Runtastic app and is arriving as something called Story Running. We are seeing this touted as being both just for you and as a new way to run. More to the point, Story Running appears to be along the lines of audiobook listening. Think of running to a story, or sort of guided tour. A visit to the Runtastic website breaks down four of the available listening options. These include stories ranging from adventure and motivation to fantasy and travel. Looking at the adventure as an example and we find one called “The Carrier of Truth, Beyond the Walls of Alcatraz.” This one is a 38-minute story and is arriving with the following in terms of a summary. “A key, a moment of carelessness, a glimmer of hope. Maybe his only hope. Was it coincidence or destiny? His steps are echoing in the tunnel, suddenly, the noise of dogs barking. Are they at his heels already?” Anyway, that being said, this new Story Running option can be found in the Runtastic apps as of today. As mentioned, both the free and pro versions have been updated and both can be found in the Play Store. Story Running also has full integration with the Workout mode. Additionally, Pebble and Google+ Sign-In support has also been to the pro version of the app. Aside from the mobile apps, the folks at Runtastic also have some news on a scale. Specifically, the Libra Scale. This is available for purchase (through Amazon) beginning today and will allow the user to measure eight different items. These include weight and body fat as well as goals, muscle mass, Body Mass Index, body water content, calorie calculation and bone mass. Along with being able to track eight items, each scale can also track data for eight users. The one catch with the scale, for now the device sync is limited to those with an iPhone. Otherwise, the news of Story Running and the Libra Scale come with word of Runtastic cresting the 50 million download milestone.

In fact, some new images have recently surfaced. And nicely, this time around we are getting some crisp, clear high-resolution shots to gawk at. These pics are of the internals and have been shared by the folks at FanaticFone. Given the frequency of leaks, we are unfortunately not getting any new details with this set of images, but thinking on the bright side — these have offered some further confirmation. For example, the display was shown to measure in at 4.95-inches. And as those earlier leaks have show, that should be Full HD in resolution. The leaked images have often shown the camera lens sitting on the back of the handset. Specifically, on the top corner of the handset. This time around we are getting a look at the lens without the back cover in place. Nothing new in terms of details, we are still expecting the camera to be 8 megapixel with optical image stabilization. And while we were not expecting a huge camera lens, the actual hardware does appear small as compared to how it looks with the back cover. Some of the other pics show the battery, which again was shown to be 2300 mAh. We mentioned this bit yesterday, but it seems the 3000 mAh battery option has all been proven false. That appears to have been nothing more than a case of wishful thinking, but sometimes, that is how the rumors go. Otherwise, there are also some shots (seen in the gallery below) showing the speaker grill on the bottom and the earpiece on the top. With that, while Google has yet to offer any news of the Nexus 5 release, that could still be a case of it being early on the west coast. Maybe the folks at Google just aren’t up and moving yet. Then again, that could be similar to the 3000 mAh battery — a case of wishful thinking. Finally, to recite the previous rumors, Google is expected to announce the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 Kit Kat today with delivery starting tomorrow, November 1.
