Traffic.com2GO to give cellphone users traffic updates

NAVTEQ subsidiary Traffic.com is teaming with mobile developer Skyward Mobile on a direct-to-consumer mobile traffic application.
The companies launched Traffic.com2GO, a downloadable, J2ME-based offering that delivers real-time traffic updates, congestion information, travel times and construction news on the roadways of U.S. cities. The application, which can be accessed here, is available for $3 a month.
“Our goal is to radically raise the bar of the user experience on mobile devices, and this solution achieves that,” said Skyward Mobile CEO Jeremy De Bonet. “Traffic is a killer app for the mobile industry, and we are anticipating that this application will become ubiquitous throughout the country.”
