Apple's App store will sell uLocate services
Boston's uLocate Communications Inc. today announced its location-based application, Where, will be available from Apple Inc.'s new App store.
According to uLocate Communications, iPhone and iPod Touch users can leverage Where's library of location-enabled widgets to easily discover nearby places and things of interest; these users will also be able to share their location and status with friends via Buddy Beacon, a friend-finding network.
ULocate Communications said in a press release, "Each of Where's widgets delivers content based on the user's current location and provides the ability to show this content on a map, get directions, and easily share the location with friends."
Walt Doyle, chief executive of uLocate Communications, said in a statement, "We look forward to expanding the ways in which iPhone and iPod Touch users connect with the world around them."
