After many rounds of work and applications, Bak2U finally got their first anti-theft software out for the iPhone/iPod Touch – PhoneSCREAM. They had bigger plans for their anti-theft app, similar to those they have for BlackBerry – PhonebakBB, but problems with Apple with regards to the workings of app, made it difficult for them to get the app approved.

Previously we had another version of anti-theft software for iPhone that functions similarly to PhoneBAK BB (BlackBerry), that reads the thief’s SIM card (to trace who he is), his location and to wipeoout confidential information when stolen. It didn’t conform to the requirements, therefore we rewrote the original ones breaking it up into smaller apps to meet the same objective of protecting owner’s iPhone.

It would be great if everything is in one single app then to break them up to increase the chances of a recovery or prevention of the theft to our beloved iPhone/iTouch. But Apple is not the easiest company to work with, with string of approval to go thru. Challenging is really the keyword here

While we don’t get the full thing, hopefully Paddy Tan and his folks at Bak2U will get the rest of the apps out. To see how PhoneScream works, just see the short video.

PhoneSCREAM is available for purchase and download at the iTunes App Store at US$0.99.
