How many times have you been stuck in New York traffic thinking that if you'd only known traffic was going to be this bad, you would have taken another route? Never let this happen to you again! (If you live in the New York metro tri-state area and have the right mobile device, that is.) Download the WCBS Video Cellmate service's traffic camera to your cell phone, Blackberry, or Palm Treo, and you can check traffic conditions while you're on the road. You'll see live, real-time video images, not just maps of the highways with warnings that traffic is "slow as molasses in winter."
BMW is sponsoring WCBS Video Cellmate as a free service of WCBS 880. This free service is powered by 3rd Dimension Technology, and it's available to "cell phone subscribers with data plans on Sprint, Cingular and T-Mobile, as well as Blackberry and Palm Treo users on any network, including Verizon," according to the Free Traffic Cam Web site. Check the list of mobile devices that can support the service to see if yours is on it.
No word yet on when they'll expand the free service to other metro areas.
