Ever since the very first brick-like cell phone hit market decades ago, consumers and scientists alike have questioned whether or not the radiation from using the devices will lead to serious medical issues.
In fact, this issue had gained so much traction that a massive, 10-year international study of 13,000 participants was done to help answer this conundrum once and for all.
And with the results of the decade-long study being released today, the concerned masses were on the edge of their seats waiting to hear their cell phone fate...only to hear that the results were "inconclusive."
Obviously this means that some people will continue to use their cell phones without a second thought, while others will continue to live in fear of their iPhones or Droids.
But if you're worried about how much Blackberry use is too much: there's an app for that.
The $9.99 Blackberry app from Tawkon measures/predicts when and where your phone is giving off more radiation and gives you warnings accordingly.
The accuracy and necessity of the app is being debated, but both sides have acknowledged that newer operating systems have led to less radiation. And with cell phone technology constantly being advanced, I do question the app's long-term value.
The bottom line is that this app is great for those who have serious concern over radiation, but the $10 price tag will most likely discourage most other Blackberry users from trying it out.
