This is really useful! Safety is always a priority.
If only iOS 5 could tell if you're driving and turn the phone off.![]()
ive heard of something parents can use that does do that or something similar

In addition to Earthquake warning system, what about Forest fire, Flood, Bizzard, Tornado and Hurricane. Having lived through Katrina, I realized that even with only a few days prior to the hurricane hitting New Orleans, many people didn't know about the imminent danger. Lots of people don't keep up with the news.
An early warning system integrated into the OS is overdue. We get weather alerts and auction alerts, why not a warning before something deadly hits our Zip Code?

Is that for when he jumps up and down?Yeah, I'd use it here in Balmer-Land (yes, I now live near Redmond) since we get shakers here too
This feature looks nice, save for one crippling deficiency, right now iPhones(and iPads bought inside Japan) are consigned to by far the worst network in Japan. Softbank is an absolute joke of a network, I dont live too far outside of Tokyo and I swear the amount of time I dont get signal is at least equal to the amount of time that I do.....not to mention its SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW. And their customer service is the absolute worst.
Even in Tokyo the speed is nowhere near the speed I had in the middle of nowhere Germany with Vodafone. Hopefully Apple will wise up to what a joke of a network Softbank is and how much it is hurting them and finally release a model for either NTT or KDDI's network(the advertising on the former practically writes itself, the KDDiPhone)
When my contract is up next year I am getting rid of Softbank, even if it means switching to Android. Softbank sucks.

Except that list doesnt actually tell you how much each one sold, just the top 10. So Android could still lead iOS by a significant margin, but since there are so many different Android handsets, if you just look at the handset sales Apple may still come out on top.
Softbank is just a joke of a network compared to AU and Docomo, Apple could really be cleaning up IMO if they would release the iPhone for at least one other carrier. I know lots of people, myself included, that either have iPhones or had iPhones and will not be getting another unless they can ditch Softbank.

This is simply wrong. The iPhone is the top-selling handset in Japan
What would be really cool would be to exploit the location and gyroscope data to register seismic activity and provide even faster and more detailed information. Threshold settings for minimum data sets and type of motion could eliminate false alarms.
There is tremendous potential here to develop an infinitely more informative and cost effective system by accessing the latent capacity of these always-on-devices and still be able to protect personal privacy.
Err, no it's not. You are.
He said the majority of people in Japan don't use iPhones. This is true. You don't understand his point.
The iPhone may be the biggest selling handset, but this is entirely different from the majority of people owning one. There are literally dozens of handsets from different manufacturers available. The iPhone is just one of them.
If only iOS 5 could tell if you're driving and turn the phone off.
What happens if you're just a passenger, but with an iphone?
That will be useful for the big quake. 100+ years from now!
A step ahead of Apple's competitors? Nope.IOS 5 always a step ahead. Nice one Apple![]()
