Be Safe... mSafe
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 08:40 PM
"mSafe implements reliable kill-pill feature by enabling you to lock the device or completely erase the content of the device and SD card by sending it a single SMS message. If an unauthorized person comes into possession of your Treo, or you simply forget to take it with you but want to make sure that the information in it is safe, just send that SMS message to your Treo and keep your data protected. While your Treo is in your hands, you will hardly notice mSafe is there."
mSafe is an interesting program aimed at Treo Users (Although it says Windows Mobile 5 so I suppose it could be run on another WM 5 device - and it lists the Motorola Q as a supported device!) to help prevent information theft. It's fairly simple - you can send your device a text message with a code that will either lock it (and optionally format the SD card) or wipe it. Neat idea, and if reliable as they advertise, it could go a long way toward helping you (and your sys admin) feel more secure!
