A new application enables iPhone owners to stick it to the man with the powers of social networking.
Trapster, a free app developed by a company that goes by the same name, follows a driver’s location as a dot on a map. If the driver passes by a police officer camping out with a radar gun, the driver can tap the iPhone to plot a speed-trap point. Trapster transfers that data point to a server, and then other drivers using Trapster will be alerted of that speed trap when they come across the same location.
It’s unclear how well this app will work, seeing as it relies on user-reported data. I’m slightly pessimistic that it would help much: When I see a cop on the street, the last thing I want to do is touch my phone, seeing as I could be pulled over because of the new hands-free handset law.
You can see a video demo of the product at Trapster’s web site.
