Centennial Software DeviceWall
DeviceWall 4.6 enables IT managers to address the risk of data theft, virus and malware propagation, and computer misuse inside the firewall, through accidental or deliberant introduction when syncing a portable device via USB. Optimised for greater content management filtering (CMF), and data loss prevention (DLP), the latest edition includes key enhancements to information encryption, as well as device support and policy management. By utilising the latest Blowfish and AES 256-bit ciphers, DeviceWall 4.6 ensures that even if encrypted data is lost in transit, it won't result in a costly and embarrassing security breach. Functionality includes the ability to audit data being copied between portable devices and company-owned assets. This provides greater visibility of devices such as USB sticks, iPods and PDAs being connected to the network, and the execution of individual file transfers undertaken by authorised users, through administrator access to a comprehensive history log of file transfers.Distributed by Centennial.

HTC Touch
The HTC Touch is a small mobile phone that offers a new way of controlling touch screen-based devices by recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It is even intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input and then respond accordingly. Building on a 10-year history of mobile phone technology, the HTC Touch represents extensive research and development and the conviction that fingertip control will enable more efficient, natural and intuitive touch screen navigation. The "homescreen" provides one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world. Using a feature called TouchFLO, users simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features used most. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.Distributed by Brightpoint.
