 While I was at CTIA Fall 2010, I learned a new buzzword: “distracted driving”. I didn’t need anyone to define it for me, but it is simply an umbrella term to describe those who text while drive.
I have seen a lot of mobile software made to prevent distracted driving like Drive Safe.ly, Textecution, and TxtStopper. PhoneGuard is an Anti-text while driving for a smartphone that uses the GPS and location features of the smartphone and location and speed of the phone. So if you are going at a certain speed, you will find your phone on text-block.
That feature alone is worthy of posting, but PhoneGuard also has “award winning software design to safeguard a cellular phone/PDA or smarphone from the ever increasing risk of data theft by hackers and cybercriminals”.
It is available for Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and BlackBerry platforms for $39.95 a year. Find out more aboutit at the official site.

At the annual Research In Motion BlackBerry Developer Conference, CEO Mike Lazaridis announced a new tablet to rival the Apple iPad. The tablet is called the PlayBook. RIM developed the tablet’s operating system using QNX technology; RIM bought out QNX this past April. The operating system that will run the PlayBook is called the BlackBerry Tablet OS and it offers full OpenGL and POSIX support. The BlackBerry Tablet OS also supports the HTML5 web standard. These platforms are all tied to RIM’s new WebWorks SDK.
Below are some of the specs of the PlayBook
- Flash content via Flash 10.1
- Adobe Mobile AIR
- Measures at 5.1″ x 7.6″ x 0.4″
- 7-inch, 1024

While we’ve seen many tablets get announced and even more speculated, most of these offerings focus on your average everyday consumer. However, seeing how the tablet form factor has the potential to be very useful if used correctly, business people can undoubtedly benefit from such devices.
Unfortunately, there are currently no slate devices targeted specifically at the business segment. That was, until RIM came forth to announce their BlackBerry PlayBook slate tablet. This tablet features a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and front and rear facing cameras both capable of recording HD video. Additionally, the PlayBook features Flash 10.1 playback with hardware acceleration, HTML 5 and an HDMI and USB port.
Unfortunately there is no word of a price tag just yet but if RIM delivers on what it promises, this may be the most capable competitor of the iPad. Samsung Galaxy Tab, watch out!

However, while tabets like the Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab are marketered towards regular consmers, the PlayBook is marketed toward enterprising consumers. This means taht a whole slew of productivity focused applications are sure to be released for the device following its release.
Today, it was announced that the device will be getting Amazon’s Kindle application meaning the PlayBook will definitely be advertised as an eBook reader. In fact this means the PlayBook is access Amazon’s library of over 630,000 eBooks for purchase.
