Email ‘N Walk is an application which makes your iPhone invisible. The reason? To stop moronic, distracted texters from walking into lamp posts.

Fire up the app on your iPhone (this doesn’t work with the iPod Touch) and it overlays a transparent email window over a live view coming in from the camera. Effectively, this lets you look at the screen and compose your masterpiece while simultaneously watching the road ahead. Of course, it won’t work. Anyone who would write e-mail while walking is obviously too self-absorbed to pay attention the world around them. Let them walk under a bus.

Email ‘N Walk is a genuine, non-spoof app and it is available now, free, from the App Store.
