Phone Wallet v.1.0 for S60 v3 : secure & organize your info

Symbian Guru released the new software Phone Wallet – security software which keeps your confidential info safe and secure and organizes your data in your personal way.

Phone Wallet secures your personal and confidential information using strong data encryption algorithms, so the data is not available to others and is secure, even after the disk dump of the phone. To access your data you should enter the correct password.

You may enter any information you need to keep secure, from passwords to the credit card numbers and you can be certain that everything is safe. There are many preinstalled folders and data types with icons. You can easily add or delete folders, records or fields, everything can be set according to customers’ wishes. You can organise data as you wish. There are no limits to numbers of records, fields and folders. You can create as many fields or records as you wish and need.

To get this application more secure, the autolock function was implemented. After some period of time the application gets locked, for example after some idle time. Also it gets locked in background, for example when you have no time to close the application and should answer the urgent call; application gets closed automatically.

Key Features:

· Strong data encryption for your data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

· AutoLock function after some time of being idle

· Application is locked when it goes to background

· Layout settings for icons and view styles

· Total flexibility for adding, deleting and editing of folders, records and fields

· Many data are predefined for you, so the application is ready to use right after install

· Nice application design

Your very own personal translator-N95

Our great N95, the phone that had almost all the features that you'd wish to have on a smartphone, has just got better by adding yet another feature - and this one beats them all! This is the deal - Nokia has come up with a prototype camera phone application which, among other things, will reportedly make ordering dinner from your favourite foreign restaurant easier.

Named Point & Find, the app incorporates numerous elements such as image recognition, GPS positioning and artificial intelligence algorithms to find out what you clicked! . Bear in mind though, that the actual working out of what image you may have snapped will be done on your network provider’s server because AI and Image Recognition recquires some serious processing power. This is not to say that the N95 is low on this! Once you have taken your photo the phone will connect to the net and hopes are it will provide the user with a selection of online purchase options, or in the case of say a movie image it will show movie reviews, or whatever it can find up on the net.

Yet there’s more, Nokia have hopes of designing the concept to include the translation of foreign restaurant menus as well, so if you visit say a French cuisine restaurant where the menu is in French, just whip you mobile out, snap a picture of the menu and get it translated right there on your mobile screen. Apparently Nokia claims the prototype application is presently able to scan and translate 600 Japanese and 9000 Chinese words, still a bit of a way to go then before they cover all the bases, but Hey! It's still a great start!
