Tawkon, one of my favorite Israeli startups of the past year, was in San Francisco at the Disrupt Alley last week to debut the release of its
cellular radiation measurement app for Android. This follows the company's
$9.99 Blackberry version, and its
unsuccessful bid to push the same app through the iPhone App Store. If you haven't followed our coverage of the company, Tawkon developed a technology that collects and analyzes RF-related data it extracts from a mobile phone. It is then able to display a measurement of the estimated radiation a cell phone user is exposed to when using his or her phone. The "harder" the phone has to work to maintain a cellular connection, the more radiation it emits. So for example, if the phone isn't near a cell tower, or if its own
antenna is obstructed, it will increase power to its antenna, which causes it to emit more radiation.
