| Loopt announced today at the BlackBerry Developer Conference that it has launched a major update for its free application for BlackBerry smartphones, which is designed to connect users to the most relevant places and people nearby using background location updating. This brand new version of Loopt enhances users’ ability to discover the world around them – revealing who’s around, what to do, and where to go. Loopt on BlackBerry smartphones runs in the background, which allows users to update their location in real-time while they are on the move, even when the Loopt application is not running in the foreground. The world around them never stops moving so Loopt on the BlackBerry should not either. Loopt now offers dynamically-generated, relevant local content about places and events from some of the best sources on the Web to help users meet up with nearby friends, explore new places to grab food, and find local events happening now. Feature highlights include: |  |
- Discover the best places and events, including those rated highly by your friends on Pulse
- See where your friends are on maps – view their latest updates listed in real-time and comment on them
- Check-in to instantly share your updates with friends – easily update Facebook and Twitter with your photos and places in one Loopt check-in
- Browse and rate local places and events – peruse detailed information from Zagat, Citysearch, and the Loopt community
- Save money through special offers from nearby retailers with local coupons
Loopt is available for free for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, BlackBerry Bold 9000, and the BlackBerry Tour smartphones on BlackBerry App WorldTM. Go to http://www.blackberry.com/appworld and search for “Loopt”.
