Wanna know where speed traps and traffic cops are? Yes there is an app for that:

Here is Trapster founder Pete Tenerillo showing off his app that shows you speed traps and traffic cameras, among other things. http://trapster.com for more info http://twitter.com/trapster - Robert Scoble from email
I hope they work better than the old radar detectors, but I have a feeling they do. - Michael Fidler
中国用户也需要这个东西,探头和交警在哪里?看看你的手机就知道,LOL. Chinese motorists would love this app! - Goofy2
Trapster is a cool app; here's my recent mini review: http://www.whybuyusedcars.com/2009... - Eric Miltsch
Plus Trapster works in Virginia and DC. . . legally. - Dave Roth
I'm loading it right now. The map for my local area is very accurate. I can't wait to see what it can do on the road. Thanks for the tip Robert:) - Michael Fidler
It does work in China! It's Global! Check the map: http://trapster.com/rl... - Justin McCarthy
Trapster is a great idea, but I found it to be highly inaccurate. - Otto from iPhone
My Trapster was going off over Labor Day Weekend - and the alert can be startling, at first! (It's a siren). I've found the freshly reported alerts the most accurate. - Kurt Starnes
Or just slow down... - Hayes Haugen
Cool. Nice to know there's a webOS version coming - Rodfather
love the idea, been thinking of similar thing like alerting the phone owners off the police parties/speed traps ahead, its an application i was thinking of a messaging system. whenever a motorist approaches the speed trap or traffic cops could be alerted via a flash message, and i wanted it to work on all GSM phones, a user could report the traffic cops to a number which would then alert the motorists going in that direction, it would require the use of a lot of hardware but it was just an idea - testbeta
Thanks Pete for the service and thanks Scoble for letting us know - testbeta
Or you could just, you know, drive at the speed limit? - Bryce Roney from IM
I wonder how the info is provided. If it comes from the police, I am not sure they would divulge the true locations. - Brent - Loving Life
Have to say, agree with @Bryce You could always do the safe and responsible thing and drive safely in the first place. From someone who got 'done' 3 times as a kid, I now stick closely to the limits. Less stressful as a whole. - ImJustCreative from twhirl
Why as adults are you condoning the use of information that makes us act recklessly? Not the best bit of social media influence and advice I have seen. - ImJustCreative from twhirl
@imjustcreative @bryce Yep agree would be really nice to hear about the guy that killed someone while checking his anti-radar iphone app <sarcasm - roger byrne
Pha, old hat. This stuff has been available to Sat Nav users forever. I have this on TomTom on my Palm LifeDrive, it's a simple database of camera locations with GPS coordinates. Move along, nothing to see here. - Gilbert Harding
gilbert: it is now at a wide level, and Roger: this application speaks so no need to look at the screen - testbeta
@gilbert Oh thats sooo much better now, now its only some ppl getting killed because of ppl playing the system <real big sarcasm - roger byrne
Here's' a thought for you Roger. There have been some serious accidents in the UK because of people suddenly slowing down when they see a speed camera up ahead. Causing the vehicle behind to ram into them. Now you could blame both, or just the guy behind for not paying attention or going a bit too quick. But if both of them had some advance warning of the camera, I leave you to... more... - Gilbert Harding
Gilbert your trying to justify something that promotes illegal activities either way you cut it. If the people weren't speeding they wouldn't have to slow down for speed cameras...so in the end its the speed thats killing not cameras or radars! - roger byrne
Roger: it is just to avoid those traffic checkpoints, nobody wants to be handed a ticket for whatever reason it is, these things help it makes people extra cautious and i would praise the guy(pete) behind it - testbeta
That's innovative but horrible. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
Roger The official line on the purpose of the cameras is to slow traffic to the posted speed limit. Therefore they do the job and would continue to do so if every driver knew their locations. All that would change is the revenue stream from the cameras. - Gilbert Harding
I'm doing right now a live PR combo between brightkite, livestream.com at http://www.livestream.com/ewing20..., other web.2.o tools, to promote my new video -)*"The 9/11 Gay Club"*(- [Dj 'greencard now' 9/11 Anniversary MIxxx ; ] at http://www.youtube.com/watch... ; everyone who wanna join the party stream, please join ; btw, we live in public will run for OSCARS ; - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
I am FOR this, 100%. Nothing really matters. Anyone can see. Nothing really matters...to me. Ergo, if it's shiny, I'm for it. More fun that way. Y'all can drive 600 miles an hour and burn for all I care. Or not. Point is, all of you law-abiding do-gooders are only protecting an extortion-based government revenue stream system. - Will Conley
where can I get in the beta for the Palm Pre version of Trapster? - Matt Kurio
@will good point. More folks would drive the speed limit if cops pulled you over to give you a fistful of cash. - barce from iPhone
He took time to hang them as you wanted, my God! - Phil Jeudy
Haha bring this to London lol - Sabeur Thabti

Okay, I've been through three Timex watches in ~2 months. Two couldn't withstand sweat or gentle rain. One watch lost 10 minutes/day. Grrr.
You still wear a watch?! I see more and more people who spend their every moment surrounded by technology that tells time (phones, computers, etc) and a watch just seems like obsolete technology. - Adewale Oshineye
Hi Adewale! I still wear a watch, partly because of the look. Partly becase in done situations I don't want to have to get my phone out. Hope you're well? - Phill Price
I still wear a watch, but then again I still use a fountain pen. - Brett Cannon
Hey Phil. Nice to see you here. @Brett I have a watch and a fountain pen. I just can't find either of them at the moment since for me they're more decorative than functional. - Adewale Oshineye
I have two Timex's that I use for day to day (I still wear one too...). Maybe it's the series but these guys have been through more bands and batteries than I can count?! - Charlie Anzman

"I had the same issue about 2 weeks ago. I also read about dropping it or baging it and that made it work for another day or 2 until I got the sad face again. I found another site that suggested opening the iPod and making sure the HD cable was fastened well. I did this and my iPod has been working fine the last 2 weeks." - Matt Kurio
