Anti-Theft Alarm For Mobile
Mobile devices are more popular now more than ever. In fact, 90% of Americans own a computerized gadget of some kind, and 85% own a cell phone. Other mobile devices include smartphones, internet devices, PDA’s, handheld game consoles, digital cameras, laptops, pagers, tablet computers, calculators, and so on. The world truly has gone mobile. However, while these devices can enhance our lives, they can also be stolen quite easily if not careful. While thefts can’t be completely prevented, anti-theft alarms for mobile devices can help deter thieves.
Mobile phones are probably most susceptible to theft because they are smaller and therefore easier to steal. This anti-theft alarm application alerts you when someone is tampering with your mobile phone. You activate the alarm by pressing OK or the middle joystick. The alarm will trigger when a button is pushed on your phone.

Here is another anti-theft alarm for android. I personally don’t know how effective it is, but it got some good reviews.
