Re: [AI] a new safety application known as Fight back
I had heard of a ring with some pointed knobs with some liquid which can be readily worn and used in case of an emergency, to knock an attacker unconscious...

Re: [AI] a new safety application known as Fight back
Hi, I was just reading the review in techtree, and unfortunately it does not look like it work on my android smartphone (Motorola fire xt 311) and the other tab which I have (which does not have 2g/3g connectivity anyway) :( and important thing in android phones is that when you use gps along with internet connectivity such as gprs or 3g, it really consumes battery a lot. Further more, the review says that there is no shortcut to enable the app, and if we keep it in the background, then it reduces the battery significantly. After looking at this, then I felt its a very good concept, but its use looks like impractical! no attackers / robbers would give you time to send emergency message to protect yourself! And it was written in the review that the app would start some countdown once you press 'panic' button, during that time you can cancel the emergency message! again it seems like a drawback / does not provide timely relief. Perhaps with some other android device, I am keen to have a first hand experience of its accessibility and how much its friendly for the visually impaired people! Anyway, thanks for sharing this information with us!

Re: [AI] a new safety application known as Fight back
well, if it does work efficiently with the prescribed phones, then we could actually get in touch with the company via a representative forum such as this one, and request them to make it more flexable. so there is hope!!!
