Increased mobile phone security

ok, it is possible to drastically increase the security of mobile phones by having software written for them. These softwares will be relatively simple to write and will need just basic c++ programming knowledge.

1) Voice recognition: Using the same technology that recognizes voice tags, and Ajile Lie detector, it is possible to have a voice recognition security feature.

2) Iris recognition: Another step in biometric security measures would be to install basic software that would recognize your eyes as you held up the phone camera in front of your eyes. However, this will work only in high resolution cameras. 1.5 megapixels and upwards will do the trick.

3) Theft alarm: The camera is always on, so whenever the light changes drastically from dark to light, an alarm sounds, and one knows someone has removed the mobile from one's pockets.

biometrics is the In thing today...the thinkpad has a cool solution..maybe they should implement something similar on cell phones.....
wait they cant yet get cell phones to act like ipods(dont talk bout that crappy ROKR)...
maybe we ought to wait for a few years and it'll happen...this is your lazy programmer talking...whats the big hurry nyways...

Sounds like some good ideas!

@Gaon Pao: What about simple biometrics like a face recognition software? At least THAT is possible in phones riht now. Ok, the voice thing won't work, but the theft alarm would very easily.
No big hurry, I just wanted more software on my phone. There are so many things you can do with it, and we are basically doing nothing. Yeah, few years it will happen... ok, I'll contradict myself and say these things are not really necessary for stupid cell phones.
@leeAnn: Thanks!
