The city of Boston, Massachusetts is getting ready to announce a new way for Bostonians to file municipal complaints like potholes, broken streetlights or graffiti-covered walls to the city authorities on the spot using their iPhones, allowing them to take and email pictures of the problem as they see it...

do they realize how impossible it will be to keep up with. who is going to report them drivers while driving.

its the pot holes that keep us Mass holes distracted just enough so we don't run the car next to us off the road just for fun.

I expect more cities to implement this concept. It seems so much easier than having to make phone calls. Also, I would think certain corporations would create Apps for customer surveys and feedback.
