e-GPS Lets You Remotely Track & Wipe Your Device

By Adam Zeis on 7 Oct 2009 01:40 pm

e-GPS

If you worry about your device being lost or stolen you're not alone. Your BlackBerry has precious info that you just can't afford to lose. e-GPS will help ease your anxiety with some very cool remote features. The app works much the same as Smrtguard, allowing you to easily wipe or track the device and email data to yourself. You simply send a command via SMS or email, and the device will perform any number of features. You can use it to locate you device if lost around town or just in the couch cushions. A very cool alternative to some other feature rich applications. e-GPS sells for a one-time fee of $4.99 in the CrackBerry App Store. *As a special, the first 200 users to purchase e-GPS will receive a $1 off coupon that can be used on any Elecite theme.*

Contest: We have 50 free copies of e-GPS to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to be entered. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries won't count.

More information and purchase of e-GPS>>

jeffgrayson Oct 7, 2009 at 2:29 pm

Never thought that the ability to wipe my Blackberry was necessary until recently when I thought I left my Blackberry in a hotel lobby. I almost when into a panic, worried for about two hours until I made it back to my room, and it was waiting for me. Many thoughts of all my personal stuff roaming around some foreign land had me worried sick.

mousky Oct 7, 2009 at 2:29 pm

Please enter me in the contest. Thank you.

adamlau Oct 9, 2009 at 11:06 pm

As a construction professional, my BlackBerry sees constant daily use as both a communication device and as a repository for sensitive documentation (quotes, bids, contracts). Because I choose not to password protect the device (too much of a hassle) and because I choose to carry my device in hand, I am often left in situations where theft and loss are real possibilities. Of all the GPS-based wipe tools on the market, e-GPS appeals to me the most. A small, unobtrusive app with minimal installation and memory footprints as an additional layer of device security is exactly what I need. Set an email, a PIN, enable and go. No extra code dedicated to unnecessary features, a straightforward app with a minimalist look and feel speaks volumes in and of itself. I am a licensed Roblock user and a SmrtGuard subscriber, yet none of those two have satisfied my need for a lightweight app that stays out of my way and consumes close to nothing while doing so. I am hoping that the e-GPS application itself supports password protected to prevent unauthorized tampering and a device lock mimicking that of what Roblock does is incorporated into the near future. That would surely make what appears to be a winning application stand out further from the pack.

diegonei Oct 7, 2009 at 2:46 pm

...is never ever enough!

bseblman Oct 7, 2009 at 2:47 pm

This app would be very cool to have to locate my phone when I don't remember where I left it as I don't have a landline to call it to find it. Definitely a time saver. I've never lost the phone, but it would be nice to have the other features this app has in case that ever did happen. Would love to win this app!!

bwackbewie Oct 7, 2009 at 2:47 pm

i was thinking about buying smrtguard but just wasn't sure if i wanted to spend that much on something that i might not use.

nothings beats free. :)
