Texting While Driving? An App to Help You Out

We all know texting while driving is a bad, very bad thing.  However, a large number of us still do it, sort of like smoking, I think.  Whatever your belief is about second hand smoke, it's hard to argue the fact that texting while driving puts a number of others at risk. 

Here's some information about an app that sends a return message to any texts you get during a time you really don't want to or shouldn't be returning a text.  It's available for Android right now, operates as a widget from the Pocket Agent app.  They are working on an iPhone app.  More to come.  You can find the app for free on Android Market or learn more about it here:

On The Move Texting App

Download it today, turn it on when you are in the car, movie or somewhere you don't want to be disturbed and relax. That text will wait, at least for a little bit!

    Oh, I love your comparison to smoking! I had never thought of it that way before. I, too, am really excited about this app. Just the other day I was driving and someone kept texting me. I thought to myself, if my phone just sent them a message that I was driving, I would have much less anxiety about having to answer the text now versus later. I believe they are working on a blackberry app, too! I can't wait.
