Forget Groupon, it serves you all kinds of deals some of which you probably don’t care about at all. Loopt (think it) has something better – their newly launched u-Deals service allows you to create your own deal and invite friends to take advantage of the offer, too. Of course, not all of the deals created will be accepted — Loopt will check with (pitch) the local business to see whether they are willing to participate and if so, the deal is on. Everyone who committed will receive the deal, and some deals will remain open for a limited time for additional users to buy in.
Sounds cool though at the moment u-Deals is limited to Android users in the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re sure additional cities and platforms will follow as soon as u-Deals proves profitable to local businesses and Loopt.
Right from the start, there’s a great offer waiting for you. Loopt is offering $100 off roundtrip travel on Virgin America. Limit 1 per person and 1 voucher per itinerary. Travel (SFO routes only) must be booked by 7/31/2011 and occur between 8/16/2011 and 10/27/2011. Valid for non-refundable main cabin tickets.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
