	<title>Apple Patent To Safeguard 911 Cellphone Calls</title>

	<htmltext><a href="http://hothardware.com/" rel="nofollow">MojoKid</a> writes <i>"Engineers from Apple have <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/Patent-could-ease-emergency-cellphone-calls/">applied for a patent on an 'emergency' mode for cell phones</a> that would squeeze every last drop of energy out of the batteries.  The phone would recognize emergency calls when the user dialed an emergency number, such as 911 in the United States. But another number could also be stored as an 'emergency number' on the phone (a spouse, child, or parent, for example) or the user could manually put the phone in emergency mode. <a href="http://www.macnn.com/blogs/2009/06/11/apples-iphone-emergency-mode-processor-features-patent.html">The process would do a variety of things</a>. It would disable 'non-essential hardware components' and applications on the phone, reduce power to the screen and potentially reduce the phone's processor speed. It also would make it harder to disconnect the call and enable 'emergency phrase buttons' on the phone."</i></htmltext>

As strange as this may sound I've been thinking a lot about this lately.  I recently purchased a touchscreen Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone and shortly after had a dream where I needed to dial 911 but key hitting the wrong touchscreen keys.  I have a hard time when it's <i>not</i> an emergency, with the screen not recognizing input, adding or leaving out digits, so I can easily see where it would be very tough during and emergency, even if it is just three numbers.

I'm glad to see someone had the insight to recognize this could be a problem and to try and do something about it.  I'm disappointed in both Google and  Microsoft for not recognizing the need for something like this, especially Microsoft since they've had smartphones for many more years than Apple.</htmltext>
