Answering the call of a yet untapped demand by cult of iPhone fanatics worldwide, Phase2 Media has brought the fantastical idea of emailing while walking to the iPhone with their newest app "Email N' Walk". A similar concept was originally launched as a spoof by gadget news website Pocket Lint on April Fools Day when the website promoted a new mobile app they called "TXT'N'WALK".
Though Email N' Walk does not deliver the ability to text while walking, it does offer users the same brilliant experience by engaging iPhone's camera as the background for sending emails on foot. The camera is turned on while you type so you can see where you're going. Who doesn't want that?
I took this nutty concept to a ridiculous extreme by performing what I call "email driving", my own suicide version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. The sensation of driving and emailing was dangerously surreal every bit of the way. The pure exhilaration had my heart racing at full tilt especially when capturing my iPhone screen shot (pictured on left). If that makes me crazy then slap my cheeks and call me Debbie!
Email N' Walk is one novelty app that serves up real results for an iPhone generation that demands high risk multi-tasking while on the go. Email N' Walk is being offered free as an introductory offer. While I do not recommend the blatantly irresponsible act of email driving to anyone, I do give this app high marks for wildly creative thinking. Email N' Walk proves that true brilliance can be found in a really dumb package. Why wait! It's time to get your "dumb on."
(never ever email and drive)
