Mobile phone apps are currently available to get you to the airport, whisk you through security, locate you luggage and snag a rental car before you reach your destination. Gemco Intel Apps of San Francisco has just announced the release of its latest app, which gives every indication of being a runaway best seller on Itunes. Jeremy Roscoe, founder and CEO of Gemco showed off the firm’s highly technical marvel, known as Tailspin, at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Roscoe explained that with proprietory software, the iphone’s built in microphone constantly monitors the auditory pulses produced in every functioning commercial airliner flying today. The sounds picked up are compared to those stored in a gigantic database on a cloud server, and anomalies are instantly evaluated. What this means for you, the iphone equipped airline passenger, is that the moment a catastrophic systems failure occurs onboard your flight, 100 million possible recovery scenarios are examined by the software and within two seconds, if disaster is inevitable, you become the first individual on board to know that the airplane is going to crash. One tap on the iphone screen and your loved ones are instantly alerted so that they can plan ahead: for instance they’ll be able to have someone else take out the trash tomorrow. For iphones equipped with GPS, the trajectory of the doomed airliner is calculated, so that funeral arrangements can be configured as to whether to include pieces of your remains or, in the case of over-the-ocean scenarios, the exact coordinates of the flaming wreckage can be offered up for inclusion in your memorial service. Beyond giving your family a heads up of your abrupt expiration, there is the added satisfaction of being in charge. Knowledge is power, after all, and even before your 747 begins its gut wrenching spiral, plummeting earthward a Mach 2, its your call: let the other passengers know of their impending doom or smugly keep it to yourself as you watch the dawning comprehension on their fear distorted faces. Tailspin is available on Itunes for $3.99.
