Single Link to More Than 40 Location-Based Services Via WHERE Are Available on AT&T Handsets


DALLAS, Texas and BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 5, 2008 — Call it a pocket concierge. AT&T wireless customers can use their GPS-enabled handsets to find the cheapest gas, snag tickets to local concerts or even get the skinny on the best sushi in a city by downloading or accessing a single mobile application — WHERE™, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and uLocate announced today. A version is also available for devices not equipped with GPS.
 
WHERE is an application and platform offered by uLocate Communications that seamlessly links users to a library of more than 40 location-based applications. The applications are developed by third parties through the WHERE Developer Program, and they provide AT&T customers with a new level of personalization for their mobile experience through location-driven information, entertainment and communication. With more than 40 revolutionary GPS applications and services, WHERE is redefining how mobile users interact with the world around them.  
 
“We know our customers want choice and the ability to personalize when it comes to location-based services, and WHERE hits the mark,” said Mark Collins, vice president, Consumer Products, AT&T Mobility. “It’s a great addition to our portfolio in this category, and as uLocate continues to add new location-based applications to WHERE, our customers will have access to an even broader menu.”
 
The GPS applications available to AT&T customers through WHERE include such well-known services as:
·        Yelp — Get reviews for everything local, including restaurants, shopping, night life, events, salon and more, in your area.
·        StubHub — Fans can buy and sell tickets for sports, concerts or Broadway shows at the largest ticket marketplace in the world.
·        GasBuddy — Easily find the cheapest gas prices in your city.
·        Skymap — Conveniently explore the current sky from your location.
·        Pubwalk — Find local pubs, bars and late-night eating to let you plan a night out with your friends.
·        Quibblo — A location-aware quiz application that enables users to take polls and surveys.
·        Eventful — Discover, promote and share local events with Eventful. From art to music, sports and food, consumers can find everything that is happening nearby.
·        Buddy Beacon — Users connect and find friends through shared location information.
·        AT&T Store Locator — Locate the AT&T stores closest to you as well as find out which stores carry the latest exclusive handsets.
 
“We are focused on listening to consumers and delivering the new experiences they seek,” said Walt Doyle, CEO of uLocate Communications. “WHERE is the most successful application and platform in North America, and we are thrilled to team up with AT&T to bring this to market.”
 
AT&T subscribers can start using WHERE by visiting www.where.com/att.
