His medical software's neat. The idea of a more well thought-out emergency mode is neat. The form factor is... kinda neat, but not very well put to use. That's three neat things that don't make sense put together (including the two medically oriented items).

The iCEphone may seem a little quirky to those of you looking solely at aesthetics - however, this mobile is aimed at the military (two versions are planned - one for the Military and one for those who will also be in fairly extreme circumstances - such as back-packing, oil rigging, hiking or mountaineering, or simply globe-trotting.
It is ruggedized to survive life-threatening situations for the owner, and the phone. It is a Sat Nav , a notebook, a gamesplayer and a mobile, but the neatest trick is the ability to send your location straight to those who need to know along with details of your medical condition, and or the sequence of medical moves already performed on you or someone close to you.
Don't just see it as a day use phone for the city. Think of those who are not in normal environments but need to know that help is there if and when they need it.
