New software from Aegis Mobility can detect when a cell phone is moving at car speeds and will automatically route all calls directly to voicemail and hold text messages until it determines that the phone is no longer in motion. The software works with the phone's GPS unit in conjunction with the mobile network operator. It has some features that allow for certain numbers to always get through, as well as allow car passengers to bypass it. Emergency calls will always go through. Voicemails and text messages are delivered to the phone once it stops moving. DriveAssist supports Windows Mobile and Symbian-based phones.
