What do you think? Anyone want to be a beta tester?

It is similar in concept to the app I'm writing. My app is tentatively titled,
gMergency Brake. It helps when you have to park your vehicle on a hill that is too steep for the vehicle's emergency brake to sufficiently negotiate with gravity. As you're applying the parking brake, you remove your eyes from the road and hands from the steering wheel to engage your G1 (or other android enabled device) firing open
gMergency Brake. As the app launches, you sling your
gMergency Cable (sold separately) out the driver's side window. gMergency Brake leaps into action detecting where it is in respect to the front driver's side tire (utilizing aGPS and the accelerometer) and seamlessly guides itself into place on the ground before said tire. At that point, the gMergency Holographic Inhibitor springs forth from the Android display causing the vehicle to stop AND hold its position resting against the G1 (or other Android enabled device) ever so gently avoiding damage to the unit, but with the power of 17 Marvel Hulks (trademark, not to be used without permission of Ricky Bobby Inc.) to ensure that your vehicle doesn't roll.
I plan to roll the alpha version out in time for Christmas. Any takers?
