Whoops. Might want to make that a bit more difficult.

I knew this was more of a novelty and marketing feature than anything.

Well, they could update the software so that it doesn't unlock until the eyes blink or something. But really, what I like about this is that my phone will unlock when I pick it up and look at it.

If Apple's prior CEO was still around he would of been dancing all over this.

It is still safe against random strangers taking your phone unless they happen to have a picture of you for some strange reason.

Good to know though as it won't work against the clever wife or the girlfriend.

if some stranger has a picture of me on their phone, I think I have bigger issues than someone stealing my phone and going through it.

Visidon App Lock has been doing this for awhile on Gingerbread phones - and can do it for individual apps as well. Works great most of the time, but sometimes it, too, is a little too lenient - though you can change how "strict" it is.

Just FYI...

I find it annoying to have to swipe to unlock every time I want to use my phone. I agree, I likes it too!

They should put a fingerprint reader on the side so it unlocks when you pick it up.

You can get a subdermal implant with one of those NFC chips and when you pick up the phone it knows it's in your hand .

My work e-mail requires a password/PIN be used to lock the phone. None of the apps that are supposed to remove this requirement have worked so I just don't have my work e-mail on my phone. I HATE having to put in a PIN every stupid time I look at my phone.

Hopefully this will satisfy my work's e-mail security requirement and I can have it again. Other than that I don't give a damn if you can take a pic of my backside from a mile away and unlock my phone.

I use an app called No-Lock...

I dispose with the need completely. There is nothing on my phone worth getting.

Yeah I try not to keep anything really personal on my phone, so unless someone wants to read a text from my father asking if I can come over and help him rake leaves, someone is going to be sorely disappointed.
