Notice how on the commercial, it initially says that Alicia is drinking a latte at Bush and Grant. Then we he sends a comment to her, her “Drinking a latte” is dated 10/28 and his reply is dated 10/31. Hmmm… He’s going to make lunch plans with her based on what she was doing THREE days ago? Or, like the iPhone 3G Twice as Fast commercial, another example of Apple making bogus commercials. The iPhone — faking how we solve life’s dilemmas, one app at a time.

Thanks for the coverage (I work for Loopt). We’re super excited about the commercial!

We just wanted to let you know that Loopt is supported on over 100 mobile devices across all the major US carriers including Sprint, Verizon, Boost and Metro PCS – so you can share your location with all your friends.

You can check here to see if your phone is supported: http://www.loopt.com/phones

Jim–Loopt is available on the GPS-enabled T-Mobile Blackberry!

Sweet! It's like away messages for real life. It's pretty cool to check out what everybody is doing on your phone, but one of those things best used in groups..

I'm the only one with an iPhone so I don't think it'll be that great for me.. : (

While Loopt is a great social networking application another option is to take a look at zhiing which is a simple way to send a message and your location to other mobile phones.

With zhiing you can send a message with your current location to any mobile phone without the need of creating a social network. You can also use the browser add-on to send locations from the desktop. A small icon populates next to addresses in IE and FF enabling you to send a message with a map and dynamic driving directions to that location.

The application and service is free and improving quickly. The full featured zhiing app supports iPhone, GPS enabled Blackberry's and Nokia N Series. Windows Mobile and Android will be released at the first of the year. Dumb phones can receive directions to the senders location by SMS text if they reply with their current address as well. It’s worth a look.

I’d love to get Loopt but it’s not available in Ireland yet. Anyone have any idea when it will be rolled out to countries like mine?

Loopt is a great application that I suggest everyone and their friends download. Not only do I use it on my iPhone 3g, but recently I have downloaded the facebook application and integrated the two. The only downside to the App is that not enough people use it yet.

Good job apple for getting the word out through this commercial!
