Phone thefts are something common and with the rising number, people are getting wary of carrying out high-end mobile phones as well as the data contained. Today, most phones today are used by people and professionals as far as storing confidential data. In fact, you may say that these are equally important like the actual phone itself.

F-Secure unveils a new software security solution that comes with an anti-theft feature. Now, stolen phones may end up unusable at all. This is because auto-locks on the data and the phone itself in case the thief tried to use another SIM card will activate the theft-control feature and instantly locks the device.

In case of data protection when the phone falls into the wrong hands, one simple SMS message will automatically lock the phone. As an ultimate safety measure to prevent misuse, remote wipe erases all of the data on the phone when its user sends an SMS message to the device.

F-Secure Mobile Security 5 with anti-theft will be available by June 24, 2009. It is already available for S60 3rd and 5th edition smartphones through the F-Secure eStore

There is a new game app over at the Apple app store from Glu Mobile. The game is Cops and Robbers, a game that will give players a rush of adrenaline as they play a thief escaping pursuers or play as a cop chasing down a criminal on the run.

“Cops & Robbers introduces unique sub-genre because we set out to make a fast-moving experience that has the flow of a racing game with the variety and challenge of an action platformer,” said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu Mobile. “We are excited to provide consumers with a game that takes advantage of the unique and engaging features of the revolutionary iPhone and iPod touch.”

Cops & Robbers plays off of parkour-style acrobatics using unique accelerometer controls of the iPhone and iPod touch. Set in a 3-D urban landscape, the game is a visual feast full of shadows and rich glowing effects.
