It’s called iZup Lite, it blocks all texting, tweeting, and emailing while driving and it works automatically, using a GPS satellite to gauge your speed.
Available for Android smartphones and soon for Blackberries, the app is similar to the original iZup, which costs about $20 a year and also blocks phone calls.iZup is “doing extremely well with fleets and enterprises,” said the CEO of Needham, which launched both apps. “We have distributed iZup in the many thousands of licenses.” One other benefit of iZup: It keeps you from doing something that’s illegal in 35 states.
FYI, 23% of all US car accidents, or 1.3 million crashes a year, are caused by cell phone talking and texting!
Are you guilty of texting & driving? Will you try this free app?
