tnx :P

btw that would be a good idea to have that kind of powerfull app on various/all platforms, however i do think if couple of devs with big knowhow get together to make a team, that would develop this app for couple of platforms, they could get some heavy money from the EU and the US government and possibly some big sponsorships from the phone companies (htc, samsung, nokia, ...) as well as google, for using their gmaps. Its a matter of national security application and would benefit everyone. This app would increase the number of smartphones, the usage of gmaps and reduce the costs for search&rescue missions :)

If you get a big team of good devs on board, i'm willing to get my hands dirty with the birocracy trying to get the recources first from the EU sources, then if we enounter success, we might get to get some other companies stimulated as sponsors. i'm a law student - a dev in a birocracy area ;)

I know what u mean, i'm a biker too, and that idea is great, but its best suit for some sort of an airbag device or should be strictly mounted to a bike. Any kind of sudden acceleration detection causing emergency call if not cancled asap, would make a lot of un-needed trips of the emergency units, as many ppl have their phones in bags (women, athlets...), which they throw around, some clumsy ppl trying to catch their phone from falling from a desk, and they will not constantly havein mind that by doing what they have done last 10 years since phones are more available everywhere ... that they are actually calling emergency units.

Imagine the shock on peoples faces looking at a medic, policeman and a firefighter one someones door step, 10 minutes after their young child threw daddies phone from the table :) because accelerometer would auto call for help thinking its on a bike :/

I think your idea is great but i just dont believe it would fit in a mobile device.

When i was out with my friend and he had crashed because another car was taking over a bicycle in a right turn and my friend almost knee-paded in that left corner from the other side, he had drive from the road in the grass and trees to avoid collision with that car. And it took us around 15-20 minutes to gatther all up to see if we are all ok, to decide how to proceed, to get the bike out of a bush, to check if anything isnt broken, drink watter to prevent going into shock etc. and it took quite some time b4 someone thought of a phone to call other ppl. I dont think, the first idea that would cross your mind, when u fall of a bike and do little to medium plastic damage, would be to cancel the emergency unit call, that your phone had activated when the accelerometer detected the fall. You would get medics to your location in 5-10 minutes after the call and you would be still picking up your bike and tried to get it started. Meanwhile a useless drive of the medics might save someone elses life that really needed medic but he was on the way to help u that u didnt need the help, but u also didnt deactivate the call as you were supposed to.

But would be a great idea it all that would be somehow implemented on a bike itself. Like theres the red button for emergency stop of the engine, it could be an emergency call for medics when u are in such crash under the bike that u cant reach for the phone or anything.
