Type n Walk
It was one of those moments that make you laugh out loud.
Today I made this observation about teenagers at the mall;
their typical posture is the slouching walk while staring at the screen of their phone or iPod. How do they avoid walking into things while texting their friends?
Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an app for the iPhone that would allow you to walk, type and text at the same time, without running into other people, or objects, cars, whatever?
And then I stumbled across it on Twitter; an iPhone app that uses the phone’s camera while texting, so you can walk and type at the same time!
It’s called Type n Walk, and here’s what their website www.type-n-walk.com has to say about it…
The Type n Walk iPhone app allows you to see in front of you via the iPhones camera while you are typing. When combined with your peripheral vision it should allow for just enough visual information to help you avoid obstacles, like people directly in front of you.
Unfortunately because the iPhone doesn’t allow background processes for non-apple apps. you have to cut ‘n’ paste what you have typed into the app. you want it in.
Thanks to my Twitter followers who stumbled upon this cool app!
