Retina-X Studios Releases BlackBerry Spy Software

Retina-X Studios, a provider of computer monitoring and spy software solutions, has reportedly released Mobile Spy for RIM BlackBerry (News - Alert) devices.

The spyware for BlackBerry helps users to monitor GPS locations; incoming and outgoing text messages (SMS); and call information of children or employees -- even if activity logs are erased.

Mobile Spy runs on all modern BlackBerry devices and is also compatible with the iPhone (News - Alert) and other Smartphones running the Windows Mobile or Symbian OS operating system.

According to the company, this latest technology silently records GPS locations every fifteen minutes just after the set up. The entire text of all SMS text messages along with the associated phone number is also recorded.

Additionally, inbound and outbound call information with duration of the call is recorded. Immediately after activities are logged, they are uploaded to the user's private online account. Accounts can be checked online from any web browser without needing further access to the phone.

In a release, Retina-X Studios CEO James Johns said with Mobile Spy, dedicated GPS tracking devices become obsolete. He said the BlackBerry can become the GPS tracking device and capture text messages and call information at the same time. This gives parents and employers a very effective way to monitor the locations and activities of children or employees.

In addition to these, this new app is helpful for businesses to enforce their Acceptable Use Policy on company-provided phones. It also helps parents to remotely monitor their child's texting activities by logging into a website from any web browser. Another common use is to back up a user's own cell activity as a record of all important text conversations and travel details.
