Here in California, it's not only against the law to talk on your cell phone while driving, but it's also illegal to text while driving. I've already told you about neat gizmos like Key 2 Safe and BlackBerry apps like ZoomSafer that prevent you from being able to make calls while behind the wheel. But, what about those instances where you're expecting an important text or email on your BlackBerry, but you can't keep pulling over to check them?

A BlackBerry app called DriveSafe.ly will actually read your incoming text messages and emails to you, thanks to its text to speech functionality which is powered by iSpeech.org. And you can even create customizable auto-responses to your message! You can download DriveSafe.ly for free from the BlackBerry App World.

ooh! i have this app. it's really nice to have it read aloud while driving. it's also shown me that 100% of the messages i get are not that important and can most definitely wait until i stop driving to respond.
