New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, January 14, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- WaveSecure, the mobile security application by tenCube concluded 2009 on a high note. The application has received excellent response from the users, technology reviewers, mobile enthusiasts and telecom companies.

Every mobile theft includes the device, precious data and most of all loss of privacy. WaveSecure allows a user to lock, track, backup and wipe out data from a stolen mobile phone, thereby giving mobile phone users greater security, privacy and convenience.
Winning Android Developer Challenge (ADC)
WaveSecure was earlier chosen as a Top 3 overall winner and the Top Productivity Application in Google's Android Developer Challenge from over 200 finalists, by a panel that includes Google executives and external judges from companies such as T-Mobile and Twitter.
tenCube, the company behind WaveSecure, walked away with a USD $125,000 prize, a great recognition from industrial experts and numerous opportunities to commercialize their innovation with partners such as device manufacturers and mobile operators.
ADC Win Giveback - Free Lifetime Account for Android Users
Android users are a crucial part of the development efforts according to Prashast Khandelwal, the lead developer for Android at tenCube, "I wish to thank everyone involved, especially our beta users, who have been our guides, our friends, and our supporters in making it happen."
As a token of appreciation, tenCube is offering a free lifetime account for Android users. Android device owners can head over to Android Market and download WaveSecure before 31st Jan 2010, and will receive a free lifetime account for WaveSecure for as long as they use that Android device.

New York Times - Application of the Week
WaveSecure has been chosen by New York Times (NYT) Application of the week.
"When we think of phone security, we often dwell on the danger that hackers pose, but the far more likely threat comes from simply losing your phone or having it stolen. That leaves your personal information, photos and whatever else (you didn't store passwords on your phone, did you?) open to inspection.
WaveSecure, a free app for Android, (also available for a variety of other phones including Nokia) lets you use any computer to lock down your lost phone, erase the disc, locate it and restore much of the phone's contents if it is recovered." Writes NYT.
