Many modern smartphones even have sensors now that allow phone apps to perform some of these functions, like tracking your routes or your steps. The devices and apps can use the gathered data to cue you to increase or decrease your workout intensity, let you share data with other users for accountability and motivation and, in the cast of at least one company (GOQii), get you in touch with an experienced fitness coach who monitors your data, sends advice and responds to questions (for a recurring fee).

Anything that you store on them can be accessed from multiple devices and from any location with an Internet connection.
