New iPhone Application to Help Users Feel Safe By Providing Them With a Panic Button to Inform Loved Ones of Emergencies
Jan 12, 2010 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
Phone development company release a range of safety devices for the iPhone. The new applications allow users to send emergency distress signals to friends, family and 24/7 managed response teams.
Thankfully, the vast majority of us progress through life without many life threatening issues. However, every so often, life throws people into circumstances they simply didn't expect. From sudden illness to being robbed, attacked or even abducted, the emergency is sudden and life changing if not fatal.
So anticipating an incident is not a solution to dealing with such unknowns, but "Save Our Socks (SOS)" for the iPhone, certainly is a remedy which has so many uses, it's hard to find a reason not to have it.
Although the name, "Save Our Socks" may be a little funny, its purpose is far from humorous. The iPhone application allows a user to configure contacts to receive an emergency distress signal when and if the user finds themselves in a situation where they need help. The distress signal comes in a form of an email which includes emergency contact information along with a plotted location on Google Maps(TM). The application also tracks the movements of the iPhone user after he or she engages the distress beacon. This will automatically transmit further distress signals with updated Google Map(TM) locations.
The application also comes with an immediate alarm service which outputs a loud repeating sound for immediate assistance from a passersby.
Save Our Socks (SOS) for the iPhone comes in 3 flavours:
SOS Free: This is a cut down version allowing the user to add a single primary contact.
SOS Full: This version allows the user to add up to 10 other recipients of the emergency distress signal.
SOS Free is available without charge through the Apple iTunes Store: Download SOS Free (http://itunes.apple.com/app/save-our-socks-sos-free/id339004425?mt=8)
SOS Full is charged at just $1.99 through the Apple iTunes Store: Download SOS Full (http://itunes.apple.com/app/save-our-socks-sos/id339156510?mt=8)
The iPhone Application Developers Also Care
The developers don't just want to make the lives, of those, with iPhones better! They want to try and give help & hope to thousands of others. By supporting the iPhone Application developers they will support these global charities so that they can all help ease some pain, and have a cool time doing it. They donate 10% of pre-tax profits to these International charities.
