After a great line up of innovative products this morning, the afternoon sessions looked kind of average. Maverick's demo came out of the lot though with a software application that prevents unwanted access to a mobile handset data.

For example, using simply text messaging (SMS), the owner of a stolen mobile device can remotely lock/hang/control its mobile phone and stop a thief using it.

Controlling remotely mobile phones is not knew and I've seen similar solutions at HP and Sybase.

"But the difference is that to do what we do you'll need a PC and their enterprise software solution. With Maverick, all you need is a cell phone with SMS enabled", explains Anil Ganjoo, VP sales and marketing for Maverick.

Parental control (you can check the location of the phone too) or even spying (you can connect to your stolen phone without the thief knowing it and listen to his/her conversation!) are 2 other usages of Maverick's application.

The software will be available in Jan/Feb time frame for Symbian, Windows Mobile and RIM devices. Nothing on the iPhone front yet due to Apple's phone lack of openness.
