Automatic Crash Notification Is On The Phone!
From seat belts to airbags to Onstar, car safety keeps advancing and it appears that My911’s new phone app is the next step in making your car travel as safe as possible. Technology starts responding to crashes before you or I can- your air bags are fast enough to meet you halfway to the dashboard, for example. The competition to provide the greatest automobile safety has been fierce, and as usual, we the consumers are the winners. Recently, concepts like Onstar have pushed things further, beginning the emergency response process before you could get your phone out of your pocket. The next step has been to get this automatic collision notification on your smartphone, and My911 has done it.
The technology to automatically detect a car crash has existed for years. It has been applied with the invention of airbags- an accelerometer detects crash-level G-forces and deploys the airbags faster than you can be launched forward, meeting you halfway to the dashboard with a cushion of air. Smartphones now come equipped with the technology that allows your car to know when to deploy the airbags. It is an accelerometer, and your phone currently uses it to track your GPS location, autofocus the camera, and other functions. New patented technology makes use of this to sense a car crash and begin taking the steps to safety automatically. \
Since your smartphone comes equipped with GPS, it can handle the entire 911 call on its own. Your phone can explain where you are more accurately and quickly than you can, even if you’re in your own driveway and fully conscious. By combining the technologies of GPS and accelerometers in one handheld device (your smartphone), calling 911 when you are in an accident can be done for you. Your phone is capable of both sensing when you crash and alerting an operator with your location. This way, even if you are knocked unconscious, the emergency response personnel will be sent immediately to your location.
But what if your phone’s mistaken? When a crash is detected, you have the opportunity to cancel the call manually. In addition, your call alerts an operator who attempts to contact you before calling 911 to report your crash. The procedure is simple and brings peace of mind to a new level in a world where car crashes kill and injure so many on a daily basis. It is easy to see how this patent can change the way that emergency response works, making life saving more immediate, secure, and efficient when it matters most. As the versatility of phones increases, peace of mind is certainly one of the positive consequences.

Catching Up To The Future With Phone Apps
If you want to see how startling fast technology is progressing these days, here’s a simple exercise for you: list all the things that your phone still can’t do. Of course, you’ll be able to list plenty of things. But each year, it seems like a few more things get crossed off. Following are a few features that have either been recently crossed off or most likely will be in the future. Hopefully it will get you as excited as I am for whatever the next big thing will be.
Who knew, for example, that an accelerometer could do so much? I didn’t know before that an accelerometer helps your navigation device track your movement, or that the same technology has given birth to a billion amusing little apps that take advantage of your phone knowing how it’s moving around. These two types of application alone have radically changed what a phone is, and who would claim that the innovations will stop coming? For example, since your phone knows when it moves around and how fast, it knows if you get in a car crash. Your phone can call 911 for you in the case that you can’t for yourself. What other innovative apps will be coming up in the next few years?
Then there’s GPS. Your phone knows where you are, and where everything else is in relation to you, meaning that you never need to be lost again. It was not that big of a leap, therefore, to tach your phone to alert when in a severe weather area, or high crime area. Again, this technology already exists in an app. I’m willing to bet that we haven’t imagined all the applications of GPS on a phone, in conjunction with all the other technologies available.
How about internet on your phone? Do we appreciate what a leap in technology that is? If we could travel back in time (don’t get your hopes up, the future would’ve told us by now if it was ever going to happen), the past generation would be mind-blown by the concept of being connected to everything you could want to know by a device that you carry in your pocket. That is, after getting their minds blown by the idea of the internet and the idea of cell phones. I don’t doubt that we’re in for more improvements on the ways that we can connect with the rest of the world, wherever we are.
Stop and think for a moment about how far phones have come in the last 15 years. Now think how much more your phone will be able to do in 15 years, at this rate. Just as the you of 15 ears ago would be surprised at how much a phone is capable of, I feel confident that the me of today would be stunned at the phones of 2025. That it is realistic to think that technology will surprise you says a lot about the age that we live in–the world changes faster than ever, and cell phones continue to be perhaps the greatest evidence of this.
The My-911 smartphone app provides Automatic Crash Response wherever you are. See how they’re changing personal safety here.
Your Collision Response: 3 Ways To Be Prepared For Car Accident Safety
Car accidents happen to all of us when we least expect them: that’s why we call them accidents. We never want to think that an automobile accident is going to happen, but it’s a great comfort to know that we’re prepared for the worst. The last thing any of us wants is to end up in an emergency situation without knowing what to do or having the emergency supplies we need, so here are 3 easy tips so that you can feel prepared and confident if the worst case scenario happens:
Keep Your Cell Phone On Hand!
It’s unrealistic to think that you will have everything that you could need with you in case of an emergency- you do not want to be in this situation without being able to get the help that you or someone else may need promptly. The sooner you are able to get professional medical personnel on the scene, the better. If you do not have automatic crash response in your car or on your phone, it’s time to consider it. You can get a phone app that senses your crash by measuring your G-forces and, unless manually cancelled, will handle alerting the emergency response personnel for you. Having a camera phone is also a plus as you can document the crash on the spot. This will be helpful in resolving insurance claims.
Have the Basic Emergency Supplies in Your Car
You don’t need to sacrifice all your trunk space in order to have peace of mind- just reserve a corner of your trunk for some cones and/or road flares, a flashlight, and a first aid kit. Many cars come with these supplies already, but if yours doesn’t have them then this is a simple investment that you’ll want to make. If you’re involved in a nighttime car wreck on the freeway, the danger is far from over after the crash has happened. You will want to be as visible as possible in order to prevent an automobile accident that has already happened from hurting yourself and others after the initial impact.
Know How to Respond When You Crash
Severe or not, a car crash is a stressful experience. Take much of the stress off ahead of time by knowing how to react under certain circumstances. If, for example, the car is still functioning, your first priority is to get the vehicle off the road and as visible as possible. Once out of further danger, you can check for injuries and call for an ambulance or tow truck if needed. Safety is always the first priority in these emergencies. If you cannot move the vehicle and, because of injury or damage to the car, your movement is severely limited, sit tight and stay buckled up. You do not want to be halfway out the car door if your car is still in danger of being struck again.
Car crashes are inevitable, but they don’t need to be scary because of a lack of confidence or preparation. If we are ready for the worst, than it won’t be nearly so bad as it could be. More likely than not, you will be in a car crash sometime during your life, and when you are, you’ll know what you need to know to have confidence in an uncommon and stressful situation. The peace of mind that comes from a little preparation is astonishing- it’s more than worth the little effort that it takes.

China says no limits on use of Google’s Android
Google’s Android operating system has got a clean chit from China’s government!
According to the government’s remark on Wednesday, Google’s android phone will face no limits on its use by China’s phone companies as long as it complies with Chinese regulations.
The Chinese government has assured that the dispute over the web censorship would not affect their relationship. Google Inc. had postponed the launch of its own smart phone in China following its Jan. 12 announcement that it will no longer censor search results.
While many other companies in China are also developing Android-based phones, penalizing Google could hurt their market too.
At a news briefing, Zhu Hongren, a spokeman for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said, “As long as it fulfills Chinese laws and regulations and has good communication with telecom operators, I think its application should not have restrictions.”
Google plans to launch its own phone
According to the latest press reports, the internet search giant Google is aiming to strengthen its presence in the world of mobile telephony with its plans to introduce its very first high-tech phone sometime soon with the dawn of the New Year.
According to the Wall Street Journal reports and other sources close to Google, the Mountain View, California, based giant is expected to release a phone called ‘Nexus One’ that runs Google’s Android operating system.
It also added that the company is aiming to sell the phone directly to consumers, skipping mobile service providers.
Until now, Google has always been dependent on other companies, like HTC, Samsung or Motorola, to provide network support and hardware.
According to the reports, the new phones will be manufactured by Taiwanese phone maker HTC. Incidently, this company has already produced a lot of phones that use Android.
Google plans Android event in January
Amid wide spread speculation that Google plans to release its own smartphone, the internet giant announced its plans on Tuesday to hold a press event next month about its Android mobile phone operating system.
The Mountain view, California based internet giant Google has sent invites to the press, asking them to attend an “Android press gathering” on January 5 at the company’s headquarters.
The invitation said, “With the launch of the first Android-powered device just over a year ago, we’ve seen how a powerful, open platform can spur mobile product innovation. And this is just the beginning of what’s possible.” However, it did not provide any further details about the event.
This invite, however, comes amid all the speculations that Google is prepared to release its own brand smartphone called “Nexus One”. This phone is expected to be sold directly to the customers without any tie-up with any of the telecom carriers.
The device is also being tested by the Google employees internally.
Spotify Launches Mobile Service on iPhone and Android
Premium subscribers of Apple’s iPhone and Android will now be able to download music streaming service Spotify on their mobile devices. The apps has just arrived in Europe and already seems to have taken the market by storm. The service is not yet live in United States although there are plans of launching it in near future.
The new mobile apps allows subscribers to play the whole music catalogue from Spotify while the ‘offline’ mode enables users to cache playlists which they can then play when not connected to the internet. Subscribers can download the music streaming service from the websites of Apple’s App Store and Android Market.
Spotify’s mobile debut in Europe is certain to spark off a lot of interest and will be keenly watched by other providers of special mobile apps. The music streaming service has already created its own set of loyalists who swear by its P2P technology which enables the music tracks to start playing practically instantly and the effect of which is quite impressive on mobile devices.
Spotify is a London-based start-up which has caught the attention of several record labels. At present the company is worth $242 million or 170 million euro with a post money valuation of at last 200 million euro.
Android expected to overtake iPhone by 2012 : Study
Acoording to the new report published by market researcher Informa Telecoms and Media, the sales of Google’s Android smartphones are expected to exceed the sales of Apple’s iPhone by the year 2012.
Web giant Google released the first beta developers’ kit for its Android Operating System platform in August last year. The first handset, the G1 smartphone was launched the following month, September. Their second handset, the Magic, is expected to arrive next month.
On the other hand, Apple’s iPhone was first launched in the U.S. in June 2007. The iPhone 3G phones hit stores last July, barely a few months before the launch of its Google rival.
However, both of the two smart phones are faring far better than the Symbian OS. In fact the two, along with BlackBerry OS, Linux and Windows Mobile are gaining huge popularity in the market over the oldest in the field.
According to Informa, last year’s smart phone sales were as high as 162 million units and for the first time the figures surpassed the annual laptop sales. The analyst forecasts smartphone penetration is expected to reach 13.5 percent of new handsets sold this year.
According to Gavin Byrne, a research analyst at Informa, “The smartphone segment is not as simple as it was a few years ago. In 2008 there were almost 162 million smartphones sold, surpassing notebook sales for the first time. The decision to move the Symbian platform to open source is crucial in maintaining its leadership over Android, Linux and Microsoft.”
He further added, “While demand in the mid tier will fall away during 2009, sales of new smartphones will grow by over 30 per cent to 211.2 million units, driven by innovative new devices and operator subsidies designed to promote mobile data consumption.”
The research also suggests that the smartphone sales will continue to be immune to the global economic downturn, maintaining “robust growth” of 35.3 percent, year-on-years; however the total handset sales will not be so resilient and are set to fall 10.1 per cent.
