State Farm on the Move for Android prevents texting while driving

Posted by TiPb Store on August 30th, 2010

Just earlier this week, we reported on SMS Replier for Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile platforms. It was a program for automating texting response messages.

State Farm, in an effort to keep their customer’s rates down, have created an Android App known as On The Move. It will automatically send a message of “I am driving” or any other pre-ordained response when an untimely text message is received.

Granted, it is not made so it will link up with an Android phone’s GPS so it won’t turn on automatically when it could sense that you are driving. The user does have to turn on this thing manually.

Still, it is a step in the right direction for preventing texting while driving.
