How much radiation is your Blackberry zapping into your head?
This is a guest post by William Starkey. He runs a site all about BlackBerry cases and has a great deal of knowledge about mobile devices in general. Since the recent news coming out about cancer, brain tumors and cell phones possibly a culprit, William was kind enough to share about an app that just may help.
Is your BlackBerry hazardous to your health? The health effects of radiation spewing from mobile devices has been debated since the first cell phone hit the market years ago. Tawkon has released an app for BlackBerry that measures the level of radiation coming from your device so that users, regardless of whether they believe it is harmful or not, can at least be informed. The Tawkon app is also available for other popular mobile devices including Android and Apple (main site).
The Tawkon Radiation App for BlackBerry monitors the radiation levels being released from your device and alerts you when the levels reach a predefined threshold. The app works by collecting your phone’s dynamic SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) using Real-Time Radiation Indication technology.
These highly-technical terms translate to an app that provides real-time radiation level indications while you are using your BlackBerry. The app alerts users visually with indicators of High (red), Moderate (yellow), and Low (green). Tawkon will also make suggestions based on the level of radiation detected in the form of prompts that can be visual, audio, or vibration alerts. It will then provide feedback on whether the action taken was successful in reducing the radiation levels to the user.
Being that the Tawkon Radiation App for BlackBerry is free at BlackBerry App World (there is also a premium version available with no ads), why not give yourself a little peace of mind. It is important to note that the health effects of cell phone radiation have not been proven to cause long-term health effects. Tawkon has dedicated a page of their website, appropriately called “The Debate”, that discusses the ongoing studies about the dangers of cell phone radiation. With this app, you will at least be able to make an informed decision on the possible effects of prolonged cell phone use. Sounds like a good idea to me!
