Windows Phone 7 prototype applications are popping up everywhere lately. This one is called ICE (Ice Case of Emergency) and currently being developed as a free application:

I decided to create a video of an application I made called ICE (which stands for In case of Emergency). Should the owner of this app get into an accident, a paramedic could launch the ICE app and see details of the owner (e.g. ICE Contacts/Medications/Allergies/Conditions) very quickly and easily. This information could prove crucial in an emergency situation. It’s still in development (waiting for an SDK update) and will be made available completely free of charge in Windows Marketplace when WP7 launches.
