Navizon Mobfindr? Who is in charge of marketing/branding? That is one big flustercuck of a name.

... but Navizon expects BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and S60 versions in the near future

Why bother. There are already piles of software like this for Windows Mobile and PalmOS.
Of course this wont be available for non-jailbroken iPhones, will it. Cant have an app sitting in the background monitoring your SMS messages, can one. Having background apps makes Jobs cry.

Probably a hook that gets called when the phone receives a SMS message, which will activate the code, run it, and it will do its thing and then close.
Of course, if it does get stolen, you would need to act quick because it wold probably be wiped, jail broken and on T-mobile within 2 hours.
