London, June 1 : Even people considered to be multi-tasking may find it difficult to type an email using a mobile phone while walking, but a new iPhone application is now here to make it child’’s play.

Email ”n” Walk from Phase 2 Media can make it possible for a person to keep an eye on the phone’’s screen as well as the path ahead.

The program takes a live feed from the phone’’s camera-mounted on the rear of the device-to show the user what’’s in front of them while they type.

The text of email appears as white lettering superimposed on top of the video feed.

And the text is more than clear enough to read without blocking the view of the path or road ahead.

Although the reviewers have claimed that the software works as advertised, they hope the creators don”t get carried away.

“I hope they don”t come up with Email ”n” Drive,” New Scientist magazine quoted a reviewer as saying. (ANI)
