Loopt Pulse Bets That Location On The iPad Is About Planning

Location is all the rage right now. The iPad is all the rage right now. So it makes sense that when you combine the two, you're going to get something awesome. But there's just one little problem. The iPad, with its 9.7 inch screen is way too big to fit in your pocket. To take it with you, you'll have to carry it in a bag of some sort. And you're probably not going to whip it out in the middle of the street and start using it. So Loopt has built a new location app specifically tailored to the different iPad experience. Or, at least what they think the iPad experience will be. Founder Sam Altman believes that people are most likely going to use the iPad sitting around their homes or hanging out at local coffee houses, like Starbucks. If that's the case, it means that the iPad may be better suited for planning events around location, rather than actively participating in location. With Loopt Pulse, you load up the main screen to see where you are and everything that's going on around you. On the left side of the screen you get a list of places, and on the right, you can see each of those places on a map and more details about them.
