Dutch company, Klomptek, has been one of five companies nominated for the Softwareload Software of the Year 2010 award in the Best Mobile Tools category.  On Klomptek’s website, they describe their product as:

Track and Protect is a remote management tool and security application that allows users to monitor, lock and wipe data from a lost or stolen cell phone.  In addition to being able to secure content on the device through remote commands sent via the TnP web service, users are able to track the location of the missing phone in real time through the TnP online mapping system and take photographs from the device of its present surroundings, with the ability to listen in and capture images of the phone’s current possessor.  TnP allows users to collect enough information — including current location, new phone number, operator ID and facial photographs — to generate a substantive police report.  All features are operable even after illegal SIM change.
