I Swear, I’m On My Way

Sitting in traffic and trying to gauge how late you’ll be? Trying to remember what your first appointment is? Now your phone can do all that for you. A new application called Oops I’m Late combined with compatible devices (including the Blackjack and the Dash) will use your GPS enabled phone, check your calendar, and update your contacts on your location and give an estimated time of arrival.

Too bad it can’t wake you up on time and help you avoid traffic too. But at least this way, it’s an automated message, and you’re spared the awkward, “I thought I left early enough, but here I am in traffic again. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” And it lets your appointments adjust their schedules and stay productive while they’re waiting for you. So, I guess it’s the next best thing to being on time.
