Location Based Technologies Launches Additional PocketFinder Mobile Smartphone Applications

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Location Based Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: LBAS), a leading-edge service provider
of personal locator devices and services, today announced that smartphones using
the Windows Mobile Professional 6.0 operating system as well as the Google
(NASDAQ:GOOG) Android smartphone users can now download the PocketFinder service
for their handsets at www.handango.com.

According to Dave Morse, CEO of Location Based Technologies, the company has
fully tested and is ready to release the PocketFinder service on all Windows
Mobile 6.0 smartphones. Due to the popular feedback from users on the Apple
iPhone (NASDAQ: APPL) the company expanded their mobile applications to Windows
based smartphones. The BlackBerry application is in the works and will be
released soon. These applications enable a smartphone to function like a
PocketFinder with all of its features and capabilities. It also allows for
seamless additions of PocketFinder and PetFinder devices when sales begin.

"This is one more step in our preparation for the launch of our PocketFinder and
PetFinder devices soon to be launched in Europe and then in the U.S. With these
applications, users now have the ability to stay connected and benefit from
every PocketFinder feature including real-time location, zone and speed alerts,
instant messaging, and travel history, for one low service fee," Morse
explained. "In addition, our applications can be used throughout the global
marketplace regardless of your service provider."

Service for both applications will be offered for the first 30 days at a special
onetime download rate of $9.95. After the 30 days both applications will move to
a subscription model of $4.95 per month for all new subscribers and will remain
at that price as long as the account is kept current and in good standing.

The PocketFinder family of products uses advanced technology to help families
and businesses stay connected. The smallest known single-board GSM/GPS device
easily fits into a pocket, purse or backpack, and can be accessed via the
Internet, cell phone or landline to show its location in real time. In addition,
the applications include several advanced features, such as allowing users to
designate customizable alert areas as electronic "fences" to notify them when a
device or smartphone leaves or enters a specified area. The devices can even
track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions.
