Originally designed for military medics, the essential emergency mobile can now survey the health-related needs for the man on the street.
Priced at £650, the iCEphone is out in July - but in the meantime, we've got ten reasons why you should go out and buy one in a heartbeat
1) The iCEphone’s software, approved by the British Red Cross and
St John’s Ambulance, guides you through life-saving procedures on screen
2) You can wrist-mount it, allowing you to work on injured folk with both hands and still view the on-screen instructions
3) The iCEphone records your actions in emergencies, so when the proper medical services arrive, they’ll know how many chest compressions you’ve administered, for example
4) There’s a three-meg camera for taking pics of dismembered limbs and uploading them to Facebook
5) Like a real medic, it’s waterproof, dust-proof and will survive a drop of over a metre
6) GPS will ensure you know where you are, no matter how hel
lish the mountain you’re stranded up may happen to be
7) You can use the iCEphone’s touchscreen for text entry or rock the full QWERTY if you’re a professional-grade typist
8) It’s got Wi-Fi and 3G
9) Push To Talk allows you to use the phone like a walkie talkie and helps in areas where there’s poor reception – machine gun nests, for instance
10) Left and right mouse buttons on this section give full webtionality
