It features a pretty cool <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/adapt/zonezoom/"><i>"ZoneZoom"</i></a> technology that allows you to easily zoom in and out on a map. So why are we telling you this? Simple; <a href="http://www.inrix.com/technology.htm">Inrix</a> has just announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Microsoft that will allow them access to this cool technology. This means we could see a really cool client-side application featuring some hot new technology in the very near future. 8)

I've been using TrafficEdge and find it to be very good. It'll be interesting to see what these guys come up with and then see if it's competitive with TE.
