nationwide
 

I just saw a commercial for the Nationwide(car insurance) app for the iphone.

They said they have a customer forum so you can exchange information with the other driver.

...

Um...

Wouldn't the other driver be right there? Like literally... right there.

I picture two people with iphones standing right in front of eachother talking to eachother on their phones.

Ahahahahaha xD

Another reason added to my list of why I hate the iphone >;o lol

I guess you can also exchange information with drivers who aren't right there?

I don't see how that'd work.

Well, then how does exchanging info with the driver in front of you work?

You write down your info and give it to each other?

Actually.. you are suppose to call the police and they send an officer and the officer gets all the info as well so yeahh..

Oh and if you say, "What if they had no pen or paper?" well.. so what.. not everyone has an iPhone either.

So when you write down he info, you can communicate with him even when he far away, right?

Omg this is just what I always needed!

What the hell are you talking about?

Do you mean, you write down the info and when you both leave you can contact each later? Like in a few days? Or what?

I'm just talking about being there at the site of the accident or whatever.

But again.. Its very unlikely that both people would have an iPhone o_o So for one to go on that forum thing and try to get his/her info to the other driver who doesn't have an iPhone or other means of receiving it is pointless. So they would still need paper and pen.

Never mind, I didn't understand the concept at first.

Then I realised it didn't have one.

If you get in a wreck, you have to stop, call the police, and like she said, the cops gets the info. But if you have insurance, most people exchange info.

Thats why I asked why would someone need an iphone to exchange info. And even afterwards, you have your computer, and phone. I don't think anything would be so urgent that you'd have to break out your iphone and talk to them lol.

After you've exchanged infos... don't you have to contact the other person on how much the wreck is gonna cost and get the $$ out of their insurance (if it was their fault?)

Unless the Insurance company is meant to do all that for you =/ I'm not sure xD

They think of every possible app possible. Whether it is practical and/or useful is another story.

Good ol' paper and pen. (Has failed so many)

Aye. Heard of the Woo Button? Its... Some kind of practical.

But still, is it so urgent you'd have to use your cellphone? D:

OffTopic-Camilo(Kid from my school) has an iPhone and everyday I'm around him he's like, "Hey. So.. I got this app.."

Everytime he says it I crack up because one time he was showing me an app that was just pick-up lines. I imagine him trying to impress a girl with apps or when he's trying to get a girl, he'll whip out his phone and be like, "Pick up lines.. pick up lines..."

They have the weirdest app... I saw someone that's got a pop the bubble wrap application...

how's poking a screen gonna give u the same fun from popping a real bubble wrap?!

though it was still kinda funny LOL

They're running out of things to invent and develop, so they made apps.

Camilo has one where the screen like.. fills up with Milk or Beer and then he tilts it to one side and it empties like someone is drinking it.

Just saw the commercial.

Kathy Sheer! (Probably not spelled right.)

Ridiculous~~~

Camilo told me about that. I was like, "Fucking dumb."

HAHAHA OMG!!! can people buy one called "I wish I am rich" for $0.99?

That is just stupid.

I think most people just like to feel "gadgety" <.< hurr hurr look at me, I got an iphone, and oh look! I can read a book on my phone! Its good for the environment! I'm going green!
