I
f you are worried about your family members texting while driving, there's an app for that.
iZUP eliminates all cell phone
related distractions for drivers. Available just in time to help
Americans break the deadly habit of texting and driving in 2010, iZUP
provides a simple solution to cell phone distractions and an easy way
for drivers to make and keep this year's most important New Year's
resolution.
"While most Americans are aware of the very real dangers of texting and
driving, the habit of cell phone use while driving is a pervasive and
difficult behavior to change"
iZUP waits quietly in the background and automatically launches when it
detects that a phone is in a vehicle traveling over five miles per hour.
While driving, incoming calls are sent to voice mail and text messages
are held until the vehicle stops and a driver can read and respond to
them safely. iZUP also prevents outgoing communication while driving,
yet always allows emergency calls to 9-1-1 and authorized numbers, such
as a parent's cell phone.
For a limited time, Illume is offering a 30-day free trial of iZUP for
those who sign up for the $4.95-a-month service. Annual subscription and
family plans are also available at discounted, promotional rates.
"While most Americans are aware of the very real dangers of texting and
driving, the habit of cell phone use while driving is a pervasive and
difficult behavior to change," said Illume CEO Matthew Growney. "We
believe that a technology solution combined with legislation will
ultimately be necessary to stop the widespread practice of texting and
driving. iZUP provides drivers with an important safeguard that will,
ultimately, be as routine as seat belt usage."
For parents of teen drivers, businesses and anyone else on the roadways,
iZUP offers a comprehensive, responsible solution to what has become a
growing, global problem. iZUP is available now on a variety of
Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Android handsets. To learn more and
