"Lookout, a company that offers security services for a number of smartphones, is launching a premium service today. Lookout’s web-based, cloud-connected applications for Android, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry phones helps users from losing their phones and identifies and block threats on a consumer’s phone. Users simply download the software to a device, and it will act as a tracking application and a virus protector much like security software downloaded to a computer...
In conjunction with the new paid offering, Lookout is also announcing that it has 3 million users (adding one million users only two months) and was recently featured in a Verizon Wireless commercial (see below). As we’ve written in the past, Lookout’s business is flourishing as smartphone adoption continues to rise. Users are becoming more aware of the security risks associated with the increased data and application usage on these devices."
