iPhone App Thwarts A Robbery Attempt

There seems to be an iPhone app for everything these day. One Dallas-area man says the $5 "iCam" iPhone app helped him thwart a robbery attempt at his residence -- from 1,500 miles away. The app notified him of the break-in and he called 911 immediately. The police arrived within minutes and were able to apprehend the would-be robbers.
