Seattle Company's App Seeks To Stave Off Android Thieves

Worried about someone stealing your Android phone? Seattle-based mobile app developer Swurv said Monday that it has rolled out a new, free app--called Squeal, which sets off an alarm and captures a photo if anyone tries to log into your smartphone without your permission. The company said its free app also captures a phone's position, and can send it via the Internet or SMS if a phone is accessed without permission.
