thewayneFirst, available only in beta on Android phones right now, is an application called iOnRoad. You mount your phone on a windshield or dash carrier, and your phone monitors the driving conditions around you and sounds alerts if the distance between you and the car in front of you begins reducing precipitously. It's not perfect, but it is interesting. They say an iPhone version will be available later this winter.

Next week's CES show marks the 5th anniversary of the introduction of the iPhone. It wasn't available at retail until June, but the slavering began in January.
I got an iPhone 4S just after Thanksgiving last November and I've been quite happy with it. It's been reliable, it reduces the number of devices in my pocket from 2-4 down to 1, and it's reliable. It will be interesting to see how smart phones, both iOS and Android, continue to evolve.
