Pointsec Mobile Technologies announced Pointsec for Symbian OS 2.0, extending the software's support to Sony Ericsson P800 and P900.

Pointsec for Symbian OS 2.0 offers extensive data protection solutions for the Symbian operating system. Files and folders are automatically encrypted in real time, with no user intervention required. Email and SMS data can also be encrypted and decrypted on the fly. The updated release comes with added support for central administration, Remote Help, and Pointsec's user-friendly PicturePIN authentication.
The strong and fast 128-bit AES encryption applied by Pointsec for Symbian OS 2.0 provides protection for all kinds of information, including SMS and email messages, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint files. Pointsec's solution also offers protection for information stored on removable memory cards.
In addition to encryption, Pointsec's patent-pending PicturePIN technology replaces standard alphanumeric passwords with an easy-to- remember picture-based access control mechanism. Pointsec's PicturePIN provides easy to use access control that prevents unauthorized users from accessing devices.

now a useful security solution would be a vpn client that you dont need to spend 1000's on a server for, a simple IPSEC VPN would be very very nice.

PointSec looks fine, but it's not much different to F-Secure and look at the memory overhead!

Personally I'm hoping that Wildpalm's PhoneSecure (http://wildpalm.co.uk/PhoneSecure.html) will come out some time soon.

They don't do the same thing, but ATM i just want to stop people accessing my phone if they nick it or i lose it.
