Not quite jail, but it’s a start. While it’s probably more of a temptation for Pearl users who can one-hand it, any QWERTY-pad thumbers out there actually try to write e-mails while they drive? The motion passed by 90-8, and is being proceeded by a motion to make hands-free functions mandatory to make any calls while in a car. Good thing we’ve got some of those kicking around. Gotta wonder who those other 8 speakers were. [...] [...] Washington will slap you with a $101 fine for texting while driving. Not quite jail, but it’s a start.

There’s a lot of different bases that will need to be covered by developers as new device features open up more and more possibilities. That’s where you guys, BBCoolers worldwide, come in: what’s the biggest thing to have come out of WES this year? Take “big” whichever way you want… maybe it’s a new marketing strategy, maybe it’s a new product, maybe it will make big bucks, maybe it will increase efficiency, maybe it will solve world hunger and make the world join hands.
