Loopt, the popular social networking app has now made its way to the Android Market. Now, with the aid of the ever popular app, you can spy on all of your friends to see where they are and what they’re doing… all from your G1 :)

With Loopt, you can keep track of your friends, where they are located, and what they are doing. The addition of Loopt to the Android Market means that the app is now readily available for well over 100 different makes/models of handsets. Versions for the iPhone and BlackBerry have already been released and they are doing quite well.

Loopt for Android offers all of the same core features you’ve come to love in the app. You’ll find background location updating, view your friends location live when in satellite view or map mode, traffic delay monitoring and a whole lot more.

Loopt is now available for free via the Android Market. For more information, or for an quick OTA download and installation, hit up http://loopt.com from your T-Mobile G1 web browser.

    “100 Handsets”??? Er… The G1 and the Australian one and….. er…..

    OR – I realise that the G1 hasn’t been doing that well, but to have only sold 100 handsets since launch is terrible. 8-)

    haha… Steve… perhaps I worded that wrong. I meant over 100 different makes/models of devices.
