I’d just downloaded this small application. It’s really impresses me! It only consume very low memory resources, about 7580k when running in full and 2560k when minimize to system tray.

“In street robbery our concern has been around the smaller portable pieces of kit - the new generation of mobile phones and iPods.

“They have different coloured leads, it is very obvious when someone is wearing an iPod. That is what is fuelling this.”
