Let 'Oops I'm Late' Notify Others You're Running Late

Lost, stuck in traffic, the line at Starbucks was crazy-long -- whatever the reason, you're going to be late. If you're carrying a GPS-equipped Windows Mobile phone, relax: Oops I'm Late automatically sends text messages to the people you're supposed to meet, notifying them of your delay and your estimated time of arrival.

This clever little program leverages your phone's built-in GPS (or an external GPS) to track your location. If it determines you're not going to reach the designated destination at the designated time, it proactively contacts other meeting attendees on your behalf. This can happen via text message, Facebook, and/or Twitter.

The developer offers four versions of Oops I'm Late, from an ad-supported freebie to a $24.99 Professional version. It's definitely worth a look, if only to help reduce your road rage when you realize you're not gonna make your four o'clock. [via Webware]
