Backup, Lock, Locate and Wipe for Blackberry

RIM’s consumer-grade protection software for BlackBerry smartphones, dubbed Blackberry Protect, has just been officially announced. Rumored for months, the new service lets customers not attached to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server:

• Protect important information on a lost BlackBerry smartphone by remotely wiping or locking the device from your desktop
• Remotely add contact information to the home screen of a locked BlackBerry smartphone so it can be returned if found
• See your BlackBerry smartphone’s location and pinpoint the current whereabouts of a lost or stolen device with cell tower and GPS device tracking
• Find a nearby misplaced BlackBerry smartphone by remotely activating a loud ringer
• Back up data from your BlackBerry smartphone (including Contacts and Calendar; Memos and Tasks; Browser Bookmarks and Text Messages) over Wi-Fi
• Restore your data to a new BlackBerry smartphone, or simply switch from one BlackBerry smartphone to another

The application is currently in limited beta trial and no date for General Availability has been communicated

Polaris : backup your mobile day


Japanese operator KDDI and Tokyo-based Flower Robotics to develop a new concept mobile phone/robot system designed to be a receptacle to the user’s mobile phone when he gets back home. Once the phone is placed in this high-tech coffin, all your daily lifelog is being backed up including the list of people you met. Quite nice!

rSeven Mobile – “lifecache service”

A few good ideas in this service, I tried it on my S60 Nokia but it only launched once and would not start up again …
Anyways this is clearly heading the right direction !
