The long-awaited Lookout Mobile app launched for iOS users, providing on-the-go protection for Apple mobile devices as they continue to handle more sensitive data.

Apple captured nearly 71 percent of the app market last year, but rivals like Google are gaining ground and expected to surpass the iPhone maker as the market begins to fracture.

A growing crop of security apps are helping to protect smartphones from cyber-criminal threats, as popularity of mobile devices now outsell PCs.

Google is throwing its manpower into mobile apps and the Android operating system, in a clear signal that it will compete fiercely against Apple's iOS and its hugely successful App Store.

The arrival of the iPhone for Verizon may skew the burgeoning app market even further towards Apple, as developers wait and see how the new device sells before developing Android versions of their apps.

Apple today said it is loosening restrictions on developers creating applications for its mobile devices, potentially opening up its market to products made with third-party tools like Adobe's Flash program.
