Hey Everyone,

I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Chris, and I’m the Community Director here at Flexilis. It’s a pretty exciting time in the mobile world right now, as well as here at Flexilis. Over the past few years, the innovations in mobile technology have been unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. The cellular phone was born as a rare commodity owned only by the few, and evolved to a point where they gained more ground & were used for business and emergencies with the landline still holding significant market share. When phones such as Motorola’s RAZR came onto the scene, we entered a time when the cellular phone was not only showing the world who was boss in the personal communications market, but also saying, “Hey, mobile devices are trendy and cool now!”. In parallel, Blackberry jumped to the front as the de-facto business communication device of choice, allowing businesses and employees to exchange emails, set up appointments, and access the internet at lightning speeds (relatively speaking).

Fast forward to today, we’ve entered an exciting age with the advent of devices like Apple’s iPhone, HTC’s Touch HD, the Blackberry Storm, and more, that are redefining personal communication in exciting and new ways. We no longer walk around talking with “cellular phones”, but rather “mobile devices”, which are so much more than a phone. With Touch screens, haptic feedback, 3D graphics, and data communication that rivals home broadband connections, mobile phones now help us manage our lives. They provide us music for the morning jog, that last minute memo change for the morning meeting, help us pre-order lunch with our significant other, get that reminder to pick up the kids from soccer practice, and grab dinner on the way home with GPS navigation to that new restaurant you wanted to try. We invest a lot of our lives into our mobile devices, from emails & text messages to online banking and more. In this amazing time where our phones do what we’ve used personal computers to do for years, we’re storing more and more personal data on them than we realize.

When it comes to the world of security, virus and malware writers often like to target devices with the biggest market share or the lowest hanging fruit. As such, mobile devices are becoming an even bigger target quite rapidly. Here at Flexilis, we recognize this, and want to do our part to protect mobile devices, – to make the mobile world a safer place to work and play.

We encourage you to sign up for the beta, and if we’re not on your current device type yet, don’t worry, we’re working hard at making our software protect as many devices as possible (utilizing some very cool cross platform technology we’ve developed), and will likely be on your phone’s platform soon.

In the future, look here to the Flexilis blog for updates on Flexilis, things going on with the team, thoughts on mobile devices, security, and more! So, be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed, and follow us on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/flexilis. If you’d like to contact us, need help with the beta, or have thoughts, feedback, or feature recommendations, just shoot us an email at support [at] flexilis [dot]com, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of!

See you soon!
