SecureGSM™ is designed to combat eavesdropping and interception by providing Military Grade security for your confidential mobile phone conversations and messaging.

SecureGSM™ is the first software-only solution designed to provide truly secure communication on Microsoft Windows Mobile enabled Communicators and Smartphones without affecting their original functionality.

Built on our SecuStream™ technology SecureGSM™ is a WORLD FIRST product of its type to run natively on Windows Mobile Phone Enabled devices.

Effectively eliminating the chance of a third party eavesdropping on the conversation, SecureGSM™ allows two parties to conduct secure voice conversations and send secure messages over existing mobile telephone networks, in real-time, over existing mobile telephone networks.

SecureGSM™ encrypts the phone call in both directions, end-to-end, to Military Grade encryption standards and beyond. On connection between parties, SecureGSM™ uses strict verification procedures to ensure the identity of calling parties, backed up by widely endorsed encryption technologies.

“Of all the SeV jackets that I have reviewed in the past, this one seems to be the most stealthy. With no obvious logos on the jacket’s exterior, and with so many hidden pockets and special features built in, it is no wonder that it has been dubbed SeV’s “most technical jacket yet.” We’ll get into “why” in just a little bit…

With an exterior made of waterproof, windproof, breathable - and dare I add near impossible to photograph in detail - black Finetex®, The Tactical 4.0 is ready for just about any weather conditions that may arise. The interior is completely lined in Coolmax® mesh, which keeps the jacket from being too heavy and makes it the perfect shell to wear on cooler days. It’s even appropriate for warmer days because the sleeves can be unzipped at the shoulder, turning the jacket into a comfortable vest.”

Cnet has just published a review on the new O2 XDA Exec (HTC Universal)

“Performance
The XDA Exec’s screen-swivelling mechanism works very well, and the hinge — a potential point of failure — feels solid. The ability to close the clamshell with the screen facing inwards provides some protection for the display and the keyboard. However, the device lacks a locking mechanism, so make sure that you use O2’s bundled slip case to prevent it coming open when rattling around in a briefcase or bag.

O2 claims battery life of 5-8 hours of talk, 2-4 hours of 3G usage, 15 hours in handheld mode and 220-250 hours on standby. However, we did not feel it appropriate to carry out our usual battery rundown test on a pre-production model to test these claims.

The Qwerty keyboard is a central part of this device but, as with all mini-keyboards, it has its drawbacks. The keys are small — a shade under 10mm by 9mm — and while it’s possible to use them in conventional laptop mode, you won’t achieve anything like normal typing speeds this way. However, it’s fine for tapping out emails and short texts, and we found it quite convenient to hold the XDA Exec in two palms and type with two thumbs.”

Digitalreviews.net have a review of the new PocketPC phone from Anextek.

“Hot from Taiwan, hot on specs and hot in performance: the new AnexTEK moboDA 3360 PocketPCPhone. And, for a change, the English-speaking world is to get this phone before Asia does!

This latest incarnation from the Wistron company is a far cry from its earlier SP230 model for which we had the scoop review last year.

With Windows Mobile 5.0 running on a 520 MHz XScale PXA272 and all the connectivity you’d want plus a 1.3 MP camera this would be a serious contender if you’re looking for an all-in-one device.

How does it perform, how does it feel and how is the quality of the phone, the camera and the PDA?

Those questions we will look at in this First Impressions review.

We’ll have another, more in-depth review, in a few weeks.”
