    Trapster® users share the location of police speed traps by simply clicking their mobile phones. It uses your phone's GPS and Internet to alert you as you approach reported traps.

    How trapster® works
    When you see a trap, report it by pressing a button on your phone, or calling a toll free number. Other user's phones will alert them as they approach the trap. Trapster® learns the credibility of traps based on how many users agree. It also learns the credibility of each user, over time.

    I guess I clear my cache almost twice a day, also the google maps thing doesn't bother me as long as it gets me to the right place.

    Its the internet in your pocket its not Comcast high speed and who cares if its a few hundred meters off ... are you trying to find where you are or where your going?

    You, sir, are a crack ho. You have way too much discretionary income...get married and/or buy a house.;)

    Also, I am PO'd that our Alltel (Verizon reseller) corporate wonk can't get me a Storm yet. I test drove one a mall kiosk and loved it. I'd get an iPhone but we don't work with ATyT...fascists.
