Zipcar, a company that rents cars by the hour or day, is providing a new Zipcar widget in the new WHERE application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The point of the application is to enable iPhone users to quickly and easily locate the nearest Zipcar and make a reservation. Also use the Zipcar widget to facilitate carpooling by sharing car location information via the iPhone in real-time.

Each of WHERE's widgets delivers content based on the user's current location and provides the ability to show this content on a map, get directions and share this location with friends.

A quarter of all Zip car users have an iPhone, according to Dan Gilmartin, VP of marketing, uLocate Communications, which developed WHERE. He added, "This makes "those consumers the perfect audience to benefit from the power and convenience of WHERE."

Due to a tremendous spike in usage, some iPhone users may experience slow performance running WHERE. Rest assured, we're working around the clock to add more capacity to address this and enhance the experience.
