Do you use either Skyhook and/or Mobile Defense? Tell us why, best/worst,etc.

I use Mobile Defense and really like the simple easy to use interface, plus how it now hides itself on the phone awaiting my activation. Interested in some Skyhook comments.

I just installed SkyHook, but haven't tested it yet. I will test it with my wife's SIM.

Can you tell us your take on MobileDefence?

Let us know on SkyHook.

Aside from my mini review above. MD is a great app. It allows remote access to your device like many corporations have for Blackberry/iPhones but for everyone with an Android device.

The web interface is slick and easy to use and setup was easy. One interesting thing is that if you lose your phone at home (or anywhere nearby) you can actually get it to beep loudly via the web interface.

You can activate GPS to find your phone if you leave it somewhere in a larger vicinity say a Taxi or a friend's house, bar, restaurant, etc.
