Location Based Technologies has announced the launch of its Smartphone application for the BlackBerry's Curve model of Smartphone. Users can download the PocketFinder service directly to their handsets.

According to Dave Morse, CEO of Location Based Technologies, the long-awaited BlackBerry application is now ready and available to its many users.

The BlackBerry application has been in the works for some time and functions like a PocketFinder personal locator device with all of its features and capabilities. This expansion will deliver immediate business value and allows for the seamless addition of PocketFinder and PetFinder products on most of the most popular Smartphones in the market .

"This is a critical building block in our preparation for the launch of our PocketFinder and PetFinder devices. With our many other popular Smartphone applications, users now have the ability to stay connected and benefit from every PocketFinder feature including real-time location, zone and speed alerts, instant messaging, and travel history, for one low service fee," Morse explained.

"With so many business travelers using the BlackBerry Smartphone this download delivers significant business value and it works throughout the world - as long as you have phone service you will have the benefits and security that comes with our personal location service."

The PocketFinder family of products uses advanced technology to help families and businesses stay connected. The smallest-known, single-board GSM/GPS device easily fits into a pocket, purse or backpack, and can be accessed via the Internet, cell phone or landline to show its location in real time.

In addition, the applications include several advanced features, such as allowing users to designate customizable alert areas as electronic "fences" to notify them when a device or Smartphone leaves or enters a specified area. The devices can even track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions.
