While examining the behavior of mobile phones, we noticed that when they are left on a surface such as a table, the vibration might cause the phone to plunge to the floor and crash, literary.
A possible solution we imagine for the iPhone is a firmware addition or an application, that will detect state of the phone while laying flat on a surface (using the accelerometer) and simply turn the vibration is off, automatically.
