Uber, the San Francisco-based smartphone cab-hailing service, is launching in the Hamptons with a "secret preview" this weekend. You use an app to hail a cab and then you are texted with arrival time; cost is charged to the credit card on file. Out here, all Uber cabs will be SUVs, meaning six passengers in total per ride. Prices are about twice what they are in NYC. [Curbedwire]
