Textecution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Textecution is an application developed for the T-Mobile G1 Google phone that restricts the user's ability to text message while driving. It is estimated that 46% of teens text message while driving, a potentially dangerous behavior.[1]

How It Works

A GPS fix determines when the phone is traveling higher than 10 mph and Textecution shuts down the texting abilities. If a user is not driving, he or she can request permission to turn texting on. The parent can allow for the texting to be enabled in this case.[2]

Reception

Textecution has been reviewed by publications including TechCrunch, Wired, Gizmodo, GSM Nation, KTEN, and AOL Finance.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
