 Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house you go...and when you're running late, maybe you could use a little reminder to slow down. Nothing can ruin that holiday spirit faster than a $300 speeding ticket.

Let's give thanks, then, to Trapster: Your mobile phone alerts you as you approach police speed traps. With hands-free audio alerts, and one-touch reporting, it's a modern-day version of the age-old practice of flashing headlights at other drivers to warn them of a speed trap ahead.

Trapster's new "Virtual Radar" iPhone app, available for free on the App Store, has enlisted an army of more than 100,000 iPhone-armed speed trap spotters since its October 8th release. And it's not just iPhones.

Trapster also simultaneously released new applications for other GPS smartphones like BlackBerry, Nokia, and J2ME-enabled phones. In six short weeks, the trap database has grown from 39,000 to over 115,000 reported trap locations.

Trapster has also announced support for the new Verizon BlackBerry Storm.

Those who don't have a GPS smartphone can call in traps using Trapster's toll free tip line, and receive alerts via text messages with maps to show where the police are hiding.

And here's the best part, especially during the expensive holiday season: Trapster is free. And it might just keep your goose from getting cooked.
