Kaspersky recently added support for Android and Blackberry to their Mobile Security 9 app, which was already supported on Windows Mobile and Symbian.

The nice thing about this app is that it has the ability to disable or clean a stolen smartphone, even if the SIM card has been replaced.

For the Symbian and Windows Mobile variants, you also have the ability to encrypt the data stored on your phone and deploy parental controls.

For a full list of features supported per Operating System, see:

In addition to these paid apps, Kaspersky also has an excellent free iPhone app - ThreatPost - the Kaspersky Lab Security News Service.

Blackberry Messenger on iOS and Android?

Those of you who love the BlackBerry Messenger service but want to move to an iPhone or Android smartphone, may soon be able to have both.

In a surprising move, RIM have decided to make their messenger service available as both an Android and iPhone app next month.

Expedia's late booking app

Having marvelled at the ease and convenience of using the hotels.com app on my iPod Touch last summer, I see that Expedia are belatedly entering the iPhone (followed by Android) app market.

It will be interesting to see how this competes with the HotelTonight app which has gained substantial popularity due to its ease of use and the ability to find (and book) a hotel near you, by comparing your GPS position with its large database of hotels.
