Fuzz Alert is an iPhone app that alerts users to speed traps, red light cameras, and even DUI checkpoints.
Fuzz Alert comes in a free version as well as the premium Fuzz Alert Pro, which is $.99 in the App Store. Fuzz Alert Pro allows the app to run in the background, or in radar mode.
These types of iPhone and Android apps have received a good amount of negative feedback from the law enforcement community, and naturally so. A quick glance at their Twitter feed, and you can see why. (While you’re there, you should follow us on Twitter to get more tips like this one!)

gStrings is an Android App that works as a chromatic tuner for musicians.
The gStrings app has received very positive reviews, and many users love the simple interface and are impressed by the accuracy. The developers did a great job putting themselves in the users chair, with guitar in hand, when developing the user interface.
The app is free, and is available for download from your Android phone on the Android Market. Get tuning!

iHearClearly is an iPhone app that works as a hearing aid, filtering out noise and amplifying the sounds you want to hear.
While this app does not exactly fit the demographics of the typical (relatively young) iPhone user, it could see more and more downloads as the iPhone is adopted by the older crowd as well. Heck, Nascar fans and hunters have hearing problems too.

Foursquare, which is arguably the most popular location-based service (LBS) out there today, is seeing a recent surge of growth due to growing awareness of LBS applications overall.
For those who are new to Foursquare, here is the official company description:
Foursquare is a mobile application that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. It is a friend-finder, a social city guide and a game that challenges users to experience new things, and rewards them for doing so. Foursquare lets users “check in” to a place when they’re there, tell friends where they are and track the history of where they’ve been and who they’ve been there with.
Foursquare is viral, it’s intuitive, and it gains more value as it’s use increases. It is seeing increased competition from Google Maps for Mobile, and recently announced Facebook Places, but so far that is only propelling it’s status on the location-based scene.
Foursquare is a web application, with mobile versions for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm, and other mobile platforms. Go check it out and see what you think — Everybody’s doing it!

A small health services company in Sydney, Australia contacted us to let us know about their mobile website they launched recently.
While it is not quite finished yet, we were impressed by how well a small company clearly put the time and effort in to designing and building a mobile website for mobile users. They had identified that over 20% of their web visitors reach them through a mobile device, so they acted on that and implemented a helpful website that serves its audience well.
If you own a small business and do not yet have a mobile web presence, get ahead of the game and start thinking about one. The investment is minimal, and many companies still have time to get way ahead of their competition.

We at MobileMammoth are pleased to share that our free text message tool has just recently passed the 400,000 text message milestone!
Launched in 2008, the tool has enabled thousands of users to send text messages to friends and loved ones for free from their computer. We appreciate the many users who have shared their thanks and words of praise for the tool. For example, we’ve received several emails from military families who’ve used it to communicate to their loved ones deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere overseas. Those are the stories we love to hear.
We are always looking to approve our online text message tool, so please do contact us if you have any suggestions for additional carriers or countries. Last year, we created a tool to send text messages to India as well.
Thanks again to all our users for helping us reach this milestone, and we hope to reach the 500,000 milestone before the end of 2010!
