CHAPTER 17: The Android Market

Lookout Mobile
Lookout Mobile is a free app that
provides three valuable services: phone
location, virus protection, and backup. You
can enable or disable the services as you
see fit. For remote location and backup,
you need to register with the company’s
website at www.mylookoutmobile.com. You
can also schedule backups for times when
you know your phone will be in its charger.
Virus protection may not seem like a huge
deal right now; however, it could become
a more significant problem as
smartphones and the Android platform in
particular gain in popularity. Lookout
Mobile scans apps as you download
them, which means downloads do take
slightly longer to install.
If you ever lose your phone, the Lookout
Mobile app’s Remote locate & scream
feature might help you find it.
