Ellis Vigeo’s TextSafe is one of those apps designed for people who look for an extra layer of security in their messages. Using the iPhone application, users can create messages and crypt them using anyone of 10 different encoding “ciphers” and then send it [message] via email or SMS. The receiver, of course, will need to know the right password in order to decrypt the message and read it. Working at NSA could also help, but that’s another story.
In addition, there are some other features in the app such as allowing users to hear a Morse Code or Tap Code message as the message is opened. History and “How To’s” are also included, which is neat… I guess.
Anyway, it sounds like an ideal product for iPhone/iPod Touch-ownin’ privacy concerned individuals. AppStore link is here and the price is $1.99.

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.
