A company called JTrek has recently unveiled its security and safety software for smartphones, which uses video, photo, audio and GPS monitoring capabilities.
Available as a subscription-based service, JTrek allows users to have a full-time personal surveillance protection device. All that is required is a compatible smartphone, data access and a small network of emergency contacts.
Here’s how it works in real life:
If the user is in danger, he or she simply sends a panic alert. This notifies emergency contacts and law enforcement. The automated web-based monitoring center receives the notification, determines where the problem is, and immediately sends alerts to the user’s emergency contacts so that help may be dispatched.
Finally, let’s talk about compatible platforms. JTrek supports most modern smartphones — including Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia and Symbian OS devices… More information is available from JTrek’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
