1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring by a nomadic device for a nomadic device travel-speed determining signal;
if the travel-speed cannot be determined based on the monitoring, determining if an input to a mobile application executing on the nomadic device is restricted or unrestricted;
if restricted, continuing restriction of the application input until the travel-speed can be determined; and
if unrestricted, permitting application input until the travel-speed of the nomadic device exceeds a threshold.

Abstract
Various embodiments include a method for regulating operation of mobile applications executing on a nomadic device. Signals for determining a speed of travel may be received at the nomadic device. The speed may be determined based on the one or more signals. If the determined speed exceeds a speed threshold, a speed restriction flag may be set and one or more functions of the mobile applications may be restricted. If, after setting the speed restriction flag, a speed cannot be determined, the application functions may be continually restricted until a speed can be determined.
