This definitely falls under the “now why didn't I think of that?” category. Ever had your phone battery die while en route to an important party or event, only to show up to a bunch of pretty upset people, wondering where the heck you've been, and why couldn't they get a hold of you? Last Resort has you covered so this kind of mishap doesn't happen again. At a predetermined percentage of your battery, the app will send preselected contacts a text message explaining that your battery is about to die and then displays a custom message of your choice.

So, if you're one who would find this app useful, as we suspect most will, then head on over to our apps database for more info and for download. The app will run you .99 cents, but we're sure you feel the same way that we do when we say that's a small price to pay for convenience and peace of mind.

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.

So… why does this idea sound so.. morbid. Have we really reached the point where having a dead phone battery is worse than, say, being lost in a blizzard or being cast adrift in a lifeboat in the middle of the south Pacific?

All this can be reproduced in Tasker, among much more automated cases… spend 5 dollars once, save yourself hundreds of 1 dollars from apps like this one.
