iCar Black Box Turns Your iPhone into a Black Box

iCar Black Box is an iPhone application that basically turns your iPhone into an airplane style black box for your car. With your iPhone mounted on your dashboard, the iCBB records a video of the road as well as various metrics such as speed, date and time, and GPS location.

When the accelerometer detects that your car has stopped suddenly due to a crash it goes into emergency mode. A light accident (like a bumper tap) brings up a prompt asking if you want to save the recording or not. In a hard accident the app automatically saves the recording and associated data AND brings up the emergency contact prompt enabling you to dial 911 with a single screen touch. The application is fully customizable and you can even set it to send a text message or email to a designated emergency contact if there’s an accident. Check out the video demonstration:

iPhone bottle opener

When at parties or clubbing there are bartenders to open up endless bottles of booze for you, but what happens when you head back home? If you want to have a fun time at a home party, then we might suggest purchasing a new iPhone first ever bottle opener. This iBottle opener which is actually an iPhone case (that works good for the 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4 models) which boasts a bottle opener on the back, providing you with an avenue for drinking while texting. We don’t recommend doing that while driving though, as that will get you a ticket by all accounts and even worse, endangering the lives of everyone around you.

iPhone is just capable of doing anything. It can now even measure your blood pressure. This blood pressure monitor is release by Withings and according to them it is the iPhone Connected Blood Pressure Monitor. Just hook it up to your iPhone, put the cuff around your arm and see your readout digitally on the iPhone screen- no timings, no calculation, just results.

You can easily see all your readings on a chart, enabling you to recognize positive or negative trends and take action (or not) based on that data.
