House Bill 229

On January 2, 2011 it will be a Delaware State requirement to use a “Hands Free” device for cell phone use while driving a motor vehicle.

Motorist must use a hands-free device to talk while driving and also prohibits text messaging, sending or reading e-mails or browsing websites while the vehicle is in motion.

Delaware is also the 30th state to prohibit texting while driving.

The bill allows a driver to use a headset, speakerphone or other hands-free device to talk on a cell phone while driving. It also permits a driver to punch in a number or activate the hands-free device, but the driver must then put the phone down while talking. Rep. Scott said that the new law takes the phone out of the driver’s hands, eliminating a major distraction.

Steve Jobs has said he has a big announcement at the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) 2010 is scheduled for June 7-11.

Some have said one of the  announcements could be the introduction of an iPhone for Verizon.

Verizon customers have clearly indicated they won’t leave their network for the iPhone offered at AT&T.  Since Verizon is the largest provider of cellular services, Apple could make gobs of money by offering the iPhone there, too.

“The benefits of selling the iPhone at Verizon so completely outweigh every single hurdle that there is simply no way Apple can continue its AT&T exclusive for much longer.”

Keep your fingers crossed and mark the date June 7th for the announcement.
