Japan’s leading cell phone provider, NTT DoCoMo, has recently launched the P930i, a new handset with the ability to recognize its owner’s face, and automatically lock down if anyone else tries to use it.

Simply storing three simple snapshots of your face on this cool new camera phone allows this innovative security feature to take effect, and protect your data from thieves and other prying eyes.

The feature is currently limited to the Japanese market, but with the help of new facial recognition applications, other countries aren’t far behind. Face Tracker, for example, a clever new piece of software from FotoNation makes it possible to follow a person’s face and auto-detect the best camera settings to take their picture.
