The Next Generation iCEphone (iCE standing for "In Case of Emergency") is a [feature-packed product that is a phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wp100-titan), [medical emergency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protechme) handbook that can walk you through and record what you've done during medical emergencies, 911 caller, and [medical record storehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidwise) all in one.

Oh, and it plays games too.

Designed originally for the military and emergency personnel, it is being marketed to the adventurer and world traveler with its built-in GPS and storehouse of "you never know when you'll need it" medical knowledge.

The Medical Phone has this to say about their iCE Phone device:

> The latest ‘must have’ smartphone for earlier adopters
> The world’s first three panel micro-notebook touch phone
> Exquisitely designed and beautifully engineered
> Many built-in innovations and ‘firsts’ for mobile phones
> Multi lingual emergency first aid software
> Ability to access medical information and records anytime anywhere
> You could save a friend’s life, or they might save yours
> The software only has to be used once in a lifetime to make it worthwhile
> ‘Out of the box’ connectivity in over 95 countries worldwide
> Fun and easy to learn—understand it in less than 30 seconds
> A mobile keyboard that works!

Pretty slick, but I’m not sure I'd pay the $1000 price tag for the bundle.
