You are driving home and you want to let the other party know you are on your way. Now there is no need to pick up the phone because the OnMyWay app from TeleNav has arrived.
The following article sums it up best, “OnMyWay has a simple goal; it tells another person or group of people that you are currently on your way and sends them the estimated time of your arrival. The app sends new alerts to your contacts if your ETA changes (if you're stuck in traffic, for instance), so that you can safely continue driving and not have to call or text someone else if you're running late.
I tried this app out yesterday and OnMyWay worked well. You should get it while it's still free. Thanks to Mike Kimmel for the awesome find!

Compressed air cars or CAVs, might be on your street before you know it. Indian carmaker Tata is already making them. The technology uses compressed air to drive old-fashioned car engine pistons instead of combusting gas or diesel fuel to create a burst of air to do the same thing. The car can cruise at 35 mph with air and then at the highway speeds with any fuel that is combustible.
Would you buy one of these cars?
