Smart Phones To The Rescue

(Friday, March 12th, 2010)

Is your smart phone smart enough to save your life?

Future cellphones may be tricked out with James Bond-like technology capable of alerting users to fires, carbon monoxide or toxic chemicals, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The genius phones will likely hit stores in a year or two, with as many as 40 prototypes ready for testing by next year, said Stephen Dennis, program manager for the DHS-sponsored project.

Phones doubling as biological or radiological detectors may be a few years down the pike, he said, and they’ll detect the presence of radiation, anthrax and other threats.
