Good news for sprint customers

Trying to find what party your friend is at or want to see if you girl is lying?

Sprint will launch Loopt location sharing service on its CDMA network in the next few weeks. Loopt allows users to share their GPS location with a pre-approved list of friends. The application also includes mapping of status messages and photos, which can be used to create a quick location based blog for friends. The carrier already offers Loopt on Boost iDEN handsets, however with the shift to fixed-price CDMA calling, Boost is no longer Sprint's youth-focused network. The service will cost $3 per month and will be available on about 20 handsets. Helio, an MVNO that also operates on Sprint's network offers a similar Buddy Beacon for free.
