Aegis Mobility’s DriveAssist is a neat software designed to help people drive safer. The idea behind it is quite simple – detect when you’re driving and don’t let the phone be used.
If you happen to receive a phone call during the ride, the software informs the caller that you’re driving and presents choices from automatic call back request, priority notification, and more. Emergency calls are allowed, and there’s also an override feature so you can make calls while a passenger.
DriveAssist will be available through mobile operators most probably as a service which will add few bucks on top of your monthly bill.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
