Sprint continues to add new services to its mobile portfolio; the latest is an offering that promises to make "Where are you?" an irrelevant question. In partnership with loopt (a social-networking company), Sprint is using the GPS capability of current-generation smartphones to let you know where individuals are. You can see their location on a map, or can be notified if they get within a specified distance. Marketed as a consumer option, this location-based service could have significant business applications in the service and fleet-management industries.
