Does it worry you that your mobile contains proof of everything you’ve been up to for the last month or so? Texts, photos, contacts … if someone wanted to find out about you they’d only have to look through your beloved phone.

Whether it’s your friends, parents or other half you’re worried about snooping, there may be a solution on its way…

In a bid for a high level of security protection, Oki Electric (a Japanese company) has announced the development of an iris recognition technology for cell phones. The software needs a one or two mega pixels camera to function properly, and you’ll need to give authorisation for others to make calls or access the web from your phone.

OK, so it doesn’t quite stop the snooping though texts and photos yet, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction!
