I was stuck trying to hunt down a cab today. I didn't have a cab number, and although I could 411 for one, I just wanted to hunt one down.
I am sure that someone is probably working on this, or it is already out there, but wouldn't it be cool if there was a service that did the following?
I open my mobile and either: text message, or hit a button in an app, or browse online to an app (depending on what I want to do at the time)
A service gets my message, and gets my location via GPS
It sends the information to cab companies
The nearest cab comes to save me!
The service could then partner with various taxi companies. Perfect :)
