Blackberry Now has a Cure for Your Driving/Texting Addiction

You read that right, thanks to a new service that has launched on select Blackberry handsets, you can completely remove the temptation to perform dangerous (if not illegal) acts while driving. Below is a video of the service:

Kevin Tofel, from JkOnTheRun had this to say about the service, “ZoomSafer leverages the GPS receiver in your smartphone to determine when you’re moving about in a vehicle. If you’re zipping around the town, the software locks down your device keyboard and display, eliminating distractions. The solution can be set for auto-activation, but there’s also a “passenger mode” setting, allowing for phone use while sitting shotgun. I like the auto-respond feature as well — if set, ZoomSafer will reply to incoming text messages or emails, so folks know that you’re on the road and therefore unavailable. The software also works with a Bluetooth headset to announce callers, removing the need to look at your phone.”
