Interesting

  • Cabulous is going into beta: UpStart Mobile, makers of Find my Friend are releasing the beta of Cabulous: "A mobile application that gives cab drivers and their passengers the peace of mind of seeing exactly where each other are from hail to pick-up.". Now that's what I call handy. The Cabulous beta is being held in San Francisco, California in November/December 2009.

    i've been using taxi magic, which works really well at this economic donwturn. but judging from the video, cabulous provides a direct connection between driver and patron, which is pretty amazing. i hope gps hardware is good and consumption of battery life is low.

    Thanks Sam and Zlu,

    We sure will work hard to keep battery consumption low.

    Just signed up 30 new drivers. Remarkable how many drivers now have iPhones - official count on a now statistically valid sample = 25%.
