Building on a successful demo at this month's CTIA wireless press event in Las Vegas, NV, RoadComm.com has made available its LifeInPocket mobile suite to consumers. LifeInPocket is the first downloadable mobile phone application/services platform that transforms lightweight cell phones into a laptop-like multitasking heavyweight all the while maintaining mobility.
Free of charge, LifeInPocket will upgrade nearly all existing and future cell phones with a greater array of functionality than the iPhone. Those features include GPS, navigation, location messaging, friends/family locator, and much more. (Currently all LifeInPocket products and services are available to subscribers free of charge.)
With little or no learning curve, no hardware or software to buy, and no binding contracts, LifeInPocket effectively transcends the iPhone and its rivals.
LifeInPocket's interoperability, such as messaging, PDF/Word/picture email attachments, financial management, social networking, document viewing, bible, flight/hotel price search and location messaging, make it nothing less than a home office that fits in your shirt pocket.
Soccer moms and teenagers will also revel in its unparalleled utility. Besides maps, weather, PIM, and web browser, in addition LifeInPocket offers GPS/address-based directory with more than 14 million points of interest (POIs).
Even more significant is the turn-by-turn navigation prompts with voice guidance. That modality allows for far safer eyes/hands-free navigation. Parents/friends will find great use in LifeInPocket's instant location messaging, family/friends locator and a host of related peace-of-mind and social functions.
Unlike iPhone's limited sync capability, LifeInPocket enables address book sync/import/export with Yahoo!, Gmail, MSN, Hotmail, Outlook Express, Palm Desktop, etc. The user can one-click on those synced contacts to "call," to "mail" and to "navigate" on your phone. Phones with or without GPS are all supported.
The only one of its kind, LifeInPocket symbolizes the next generation of applications and services that can upgrade a regular cell phones into a powerful, top-of-the-line smart phone.
