British IT company Virtuity, has released "BackStopp Mobile" which is designed to obliterate the contents of lost or stolen mobile phones and other handheld devices.
Similar to the company's products for laptops, should a phone be lost or stolen, BackStopp Mobile uses a mobile's own communications to track it down, almost anywhere in the world.
Once the device has been traced, BackStopp sets to deleting all information that "could prove of interest to villains of all descriptions".
The initial BackStopp Mobile release supports all devices running on the Windows Mobile operating system with devices running the Symbian OS covered under the next planned release.
Primarily aimed at the enterprise market, more info, including pricing, can be found on BackStopp.com.
