Email ‘N Go Is Perfect For Emailing ‘N Driving

emailnwalk

When I’m barrelling down the freeway in my four-ton Land Rover, I like to check Google Maps on my iPhone and email my friends. Trouble is, I can’t see where I’m going.

Email ‘N Walk, a new super-clever iPhone app, offers the perfect solution.

It uses the iPhone’s camera to display on screen what’s up ahead. It’s designed for pedestrians  — to stop them walking into lampposts as they read or send email — but it’d work in automotive settings too.

Shame it doesn’t work for text , Web browsing, maps, or video, but it’s a start.

Available for free — for a limited time — from Phase2 Media.
