happyGEEK!

with so many new applications out there and curious end-users like me how are you to keep your devices safe?  well,  at least for the common freelance geeks we don't have to worry much about endusers.  however, we do need to fend for ourselves in this geek pawn geek world that we live in.

that said, i bring to you a beta mobile security suite developed to address the increasing threat of viruses, spyware, malware, bluetooth attacks, etc....  on mobile devices.  there's also a nice firewall and intrusion prevention system plus data protection and backup.

flexilis is now on beta release 4 and  you can read up on it on their blog or sign up for it either on their blog or main site.

i added this application on right after i loaded the latest mobile 6.1 onto my blackjack 2 and i haven't had any problems with it yet.  the registration is a little tricky if you forget about doing it to begin with.  you start off with a guest account and perform the steps below to register.

i feel as if i can't be without this application now.  it gives me a mobile connection to the global loop without having to run through multiple websites or applications to get to what i need to know.  i love it how i can mark a story to be saved and that i can update channels individually.  before, i just used my phone for its e-mail, calendar, and phone functions; but, now it's my daily newspaper.

if you couldn't already tell, i highly suggest installing this app on your smartphone.  :D

kinoma freeplay is a freeware program that i've been using on my smartphone (blackjack 2 w/ windows mobile 6.1).

i love the media management and online searches. it is soooo nifty to have youtube in the palm of my hands. notice how i said nifty? it is not a requirement of mine to have youtube at the drop of a hat. besides, all that will kill my device's battery.

almost all the things i'm about to list about kinoma are battery killers; however, if you are like me and have your smartphone at the side of your hip 24/7, then you probably also carry a usb connector to keep your phone charged every chance you get.

either way, this multimedia organizer is a must have for me, especially with the history function that allows the user to go back to a youtube stream they watched earlier in the day.
