Loopt will be free on the new iPhone using Microsoft Virtual Earth

I was going to come up with a cute title for this blog but decided that there was no reason. The facts stand for themselves. The fact is that Loopt, a great company with one of the smartest CEOs I've ever met (Sam Altman who is only 24 years old) was up on stage at Steve Job's Apple World-Wide Developers' Conference last week presenting the latest version of the Loopt mobile social networkng application on the new 3G enabled iPhone. The fact is that the default mapping the application used was Microsoft's Virtual Earth. And the best fact is that this great social networking application will be available for free on the iPhone so using Loopt, folks "never have to eat lunch alone again..." as Sam promises in his speech. Did I mention that Loopt is a Microsoft Startup Accelerator Company? My colleague covered them in a previous blog that you can read here. I don't want to sound like a Loopt groupie but check out the video of Sam on stage at WWDC.
