Loopt shows off new app for iPhone Video Transcript

>> [ music ] ^m00:00:04 We are incredibly siked about Loopt on the iPhone. Loopt is about connecting with people on the go, which is after all, the main reason you have a phone. We show you where people are, what they're doing, and what cool places are around you. The orange pin up there is where I am now and the blue pins represent my friends. We make serendipity happen. It's amazing how often you're at a restaurant a couple of blocks away from a friend or stuck in an airport with an old classmate and don't know about it. We'll show you that. This is the best version of Loopt that we have ever made and by far the best device we've ever had the opportunity to work with. We've developed for nearly every mobile platform out there; this one is the best and most powerful. So James has navigated a map just like you'd expect by pinching and dragging and tapping and we can see that there are some friends down south, a friend of mine is driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, and here are some friends that are very near by us right now. We can tap the map a few times to zoom in and as we zoom in we see that there's one friend very, very close; so we can tap on that dot and it's Erin Easter. And she's only a few blocks away and so we can see what she's been doing today. This is called her journal of photos she's taken, text she's on third, all of this tied to places and sharable with any other service you'd like. And the thing in blue is the comment her friends left earlier today. So we can tap on that top entry that says, back at the cutest little cafe, and we can tap on it again and that photo will enlarge. So it does actually look pretty cool and I don't have lunch times today so we'll see if she's free. So we can go back, I could call her, I could text her, we integrate with a native iPhone API's, or I'll leave a comment and I'll say free for lunch? If she is free, then I can get directions to her in one click and one line of code. Another example of the power of VSDK. And this is really all the example of the location. Location plus a contact list and information about cool places means you never have to eat lunch alone again or at a bad place. And we think that's really cool, we really do. You can use Loopt with your friends on most other carriers or devices in the U. S. We are the largest social mapping service in the world and very happy to announce that Loopt will be free on the iPhone and the app store at lunch. Anyway we think this is a new era of mobile, we're thrilled to be part of it, thanks very much. [ applause ]
