Loopt wont work on the iPhone yet (natively), because it requires GPS hardware (which the iPhone does not yet have). Hopefully someday though, its a cool app.

Doesn't it work on some phones that have APIs for a triangulated, interpolated GPS?

I havent heard about that, but if thats the case and you find out more please share. It might be proprietary code rather than an official optional library.
