Just released a new version of ExerTrak, for the BlackBerry Playbook. This one just had a few usability tweaks, including an integrated numeric keypad for entering exercise stats. Using the soft-keyboard proved to be a big pain, from the usability standpoint. You couldn't always see what field you were editing, and it always defaulted to the alpha keypad, so an extra button press was required to get to the numeric. Now entering this information with the integrated keypad is a breeze.
Next feature to work on will be to support portrait screen orientation, and get into the Nook store!
Sales are still pretty slow, but there are now some users out there. I really wish some would post reviews, or send me some feedback.

ExerTrak 1.0.1
Just pushed out the first update to the ExerTrak app for the Playbook in the Blackberry Appworld. I fixed a small bug where the Date selector lists were not scrolling properly to display the current date selected. I also updated the style of the UI. It's actually pretty amazing how much better you can make something look if you spend a little time.
So far, only one person has bought the app (hope you like it, whoever you are!), but I believe it can appeal to many users, and now with much nicer screenshots, it might see some growth soon.
Hopefully the updated screenshots get accepted. The AppWorld vendor site is not very robust when it comes to making these kinds of changes.
Still looking into a release for the Nook tablet. The Nook store seems focused on development companies, as opposed to individuals, so I'm not sure of my chances are there.
