The Protecto Phone
My friend Jesper and I used to talk about that someone needed to write an app for our palm or nokia phones that allowed you to tag certain entries in your phone book to make sure you did not call them at the wrong time. Meaning - you needed to put your phone into the local time zone and from let's say 1 in the morning until 10 the next day you would not be able to SMS or dial the contacts you had tagged. This is to keep you from one of two things. Calling someone "special" in your life while you are drunk and saying things that you might live to regret in the morning. Or it is to keep you from dialing the wrong person at the wrong time. Meaning you are off partying in Hong Kong and you dial your GF back home in the states. Both situations are bad but preventable-meaning don't go out and drink with your phone or buy the protecto phone. Given the spate of Palm, windows, and Nokia smart phones you would think someone would have written some apps to solve this problem.
Looks like LG is making this a hardware solution at this point.
