Environmental Scanning

















'Fight Back' is a website and a mobile application for women.
Delhi tops India's list of most unsafe cities for women, with rape cases on the rise. This application was launched by Indian non-profit Whypoll in December, and functions as an alert and SOS device, sending out a text message with a GPS co-ordinate, to up to 5 people on your alerts list, including the police, and a post to facebook and twitter.

The application is programmed for Android, Blackberry and Symbian mobile OS, and is currently available to Delhi users in English, with more metros and languages to come.

The FB mobile application is available for free download from their website:

A ‘Wooden Detachable Bicycle Stereo for your Smartphone’

What you are seeing here is a handcrafted wooden case that easily attaches to your bicycle. Inside the case are a few electronic components that allow you to plug your phone’s audio port into , in order to play your favorite music, internet radio, Pandora, Hype Machine, etc… all for the world to hear as you pedal gloriously down the street. When you get to your destination, the case can be quickly unclipped from your bike and carried around like a mini-music box of envy.
