This kindof begs the question as to why you would leave unsecured data on a mobile device in the first place! Suppose you lost it?

I do keep lots of personal info (credit card numbers, insurance policy numbers, passport numbers etc) on my Nokia N95 - but stored in an encrypted and password-protected format (using BestSafe from smartphoneware.com; other alternatives are HandySafe from epocware.com, PhoneWallet from symbianguru.com, and splashid from splashware.com).

I seem to have been reading about something similar being made available for the iPhone through the new SDK...

splashware.com should be splashdata.com
