@Road,with headquarters in Fremont, Calif., has introduced @Road TimeConnectSM, an automated time tracking and task management application for NextelGPS-enabled mobile phones.

The application can be downloaded directly from the @Road application menu on any of these Nextel handsets. Of course, users must be on the Nextel network.
