We all may love our gadgets around here, but ever we have to say there is a time to put them down.

If you feel a burning need to have an application on your iPhone that will give you a video feed of what is in front of you as you walk, today is your lucky day!

A company named Phase2 has released a free (for now) iPhone application that will let you write emails on your phone with the background image being a live video feed of what your built-in camera sees.  Email n’ Walk (iTunes link) will let you see everything going on through the camera so you can walk and type at the same time.

My concern is that there is actually a market for this?  Has anyone ever heard of just putting the phone down for 5 minutes?  Or, if you prefer, stop under a nice tree to type out your message!  I can’t believe this is actually all that useful, and I imagine you stop paying attention to the feed in fairly short order.

Seriously, put down the crack pipe phone, and try to enjoy your surroundings for 10 seconds.
