Is it possible to create an app like Runtastic, RunKeeper or SportsTracker (all of them Android apps) in WP7 using Bing Maps? Or maybe there is an app with that functionality already out?

These apps basically trace the route you run/cycle/jogg/etc in Google maps, displaying your current speed, altitude, cal lost, direction, etc. Then they have an option for storing the tracks and displaying their related information later. They can display charts as well.

Also, what sensors does WP7 devices have?
