"Impairments of judgment, perception and reaction time caused by driving and dialing are approximately equal to the impairments caused by drinking the legal limit of alcohol, researchers say. The problem seems to lie not in user interface design but in limitations of human perception and cognition: we can only multitask to a certain degree while hurtling down the highway before we make a bloody mess."

Na verdade, esse texto me chamou atencao pq eu nao conheco ninguem q consiga dirigir escrevendo msg no celular da forma q eu costumo fazer.. Os passageiros normalmente se impressionam.. Detalhe, normalmente para eu mandar msgs a partir do meu celular, eu abro um navegador wap, me conecto por GPRS ao meu webserver em casa e entao preencho um formulario e clico em submit e, somente entao, isso tudo vira uma mensagem.. Ah, faco isso tudo dirigindo.. :)
Provavelmente no codigo de transito estah escrito q eh proibido falar no celular, mas nao estah escrito q eh proibido escrever nele .. :)

"It's hard to avoid WAP these days. From media companies and retailers to Web agencies and mobile services companies, WAP site development is a hot topic. Many in the industry believe 2005 is the year WAP content will really take off in the UK, offering the next opportunity after the premium SMS gold rush."

"The problem is that most phones are still very much a "black box" for buyers until they've bought it."

From here ..

"Too many are still looking at location-based services as an opportunity to spam people on the go, rather than an opportunity to help users bridge the analog and digital worlds by using the phone as a portal to additional information and services based on where the user is standing. It isn't the operators holding back location-based services, but the lack of the truly compelling applications."

From here ..

"But what about location-aware services, ubiquitous computing and mobile social software? What's the price we will have to pay -- in terms of loss of privacy -- to reap the benefits of these services (such as recommendations for restaurants or locating people with shared interests)? Are there ways to lower the costs without losing the benefits?"
