iPhone Gets Mobileyes Traffic Cams
Mobileyes, a real-time traffic cam application that lets you see traffic conditions in your city, is now available for both the iPhone and iPod Touch through the iTunes App Store. Available from the Travel section of the app store, Mobileyes will grant you access to live video and still images of roadways in your area right on your iPhone’s display. It uses live traffic cams operated from each city’s local department of transportation in a network that continues to expand and includes Detroit, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Knoxville, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C.
After downloading, you simply choose the city you live in and can even program your iPhone’s touchscreen keys to access your favorite cameras quickly.

Mobile Traffic Advisory Service to Help iPhone and iPod Touch Users Map Most Efficient Route to Work or Home
NEW YORK, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — iPhone owners frustrated by getting stuck in traffic jams now have a new and free way to speed their journey.
Mobileyes, now available for download from the travel section of the iTunes App Store, is a live, video application that literally shows where traffic is moving around town — and where it’s not.
The 3rd Dimension service allows commuters in major U.S. metropolitan areas to access live video and still images of roadways from their iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Tens of thousands of drivers across the country have already downloaded Mobileyes onto other mobile devices. Now iPhone users can access thousands of traffic cameras operated by the local departments of transportation in an expanding network of cities including Detroit, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Knoxville, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C.
“We’ve been working to support the iPhone ever since Apple released its tool kit to developers,” said Eric Joseph, president and chief operating officer, 3rd Dimension. “We hope to help the millions of fervent iPhone users, including myself, to plan the safest, fastest and most fuel efficient routes around town.
“The media partners and advertisers on our growing network are equally elated about the addition of iPhone support to our Mobileyes platform,” said Mr. Joseph.
When downloading the app, consumers should check the full range of cities and pick the one they live in or commute in most. The application also includes “travel” mode — located in “settings” — where drivers can switch to other regions on the network that they will be visiting. Commuters without an Apple device may also download Mobileyes by visiting http://www.freetrafficcams.com and requesting the service by entering their mobile phone number.
Once the application is downloaded, drivers can choose to view real-time traffic images from any of the cameras along their route and can even program keys on their phone to quickly access their favorites. iPhone users can select between low, medium and high resolution images which will speed or slow camera load time on their devices.
