Live traffic cams on your mobile phone

Now there’s Mobileyes – a free mobile traffic camera service available for most of the big metro areas in the country.

The application for mobile devices is advertising-supported and delivers traffic cam images real-time from Hartford, Conn.; New York; Los Angeles; Kansas City; Houston; Knoxville; Indianapolis; and Washington, D.C.

It doesn’t work with the iPhone but is compatible with data enabled phones on the Sprint, Verizon Wireless, AT&T-Mobile networks. Users can access the service from anywhere on popular smart phones such as the BlackBerry, Palm Treo and the Motorola Q.

To download the video application, go to www.freetrafficcams.com and request the service by entering your mobile phone number.

Once the application is downloaded, you can choose to view near real-time traffic images from any of the cameras along major routes in your area and can even program keys on their phone to quickly access their favorites.
