Sprite Software has released Sprite Mobile Swipe 1.0, its Windows Mobile data protection software for all Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices. Sprite Mobile Swipe protects confidential information on mobile devices from unauthorized access. Once installed, the software hides until activated when required. If a phone is lost, owners just need to send an SMS message to their phone from a paired phone to lock down the phone so that a password is required to access the data. A wipe command can also be sent which clears the entire contents, including memory cards. This can be used to decommision phones before passing them to friends or colleagues. If a phone is stolen, and the thief replaces the SIM card, Sprite Mobile Swipe detects this and informs the owner via a SMS message to the previously partnered phone so that the phone can be locked or wiped. Another option is to remotely query the phone for recent call activity as this may help track down the phone.
