‘Find My iPhone’ Lets You Ping, Remotely Erase Your Lost Phone
Here’s a cool new feature for iPhone 3.0 for MobileMe customers: Find My iPhone. It’ll let you send a “I’m lost!” message to your phone or wipe it remotely if you need to.
It allows you to send a beeping noise to your phone even if its in silent mode as well as a message telling whoever finds it to call you. If you fear its in the hands of a bad person who wants to use your info for blackmailish purposes, you can erase it remotely.

now that my friends is a good idea!
If you misplace and lose things you should suffer and learn from it! hahaa nah im jus been mean but this “ping my (lost, never to be in my hands again) iphone” thing makes me think… how secure will that be?
how can one be safe or sure that someone else (to be funny or to be mean) won’t remotely delete all your crap.
Well I guess if you were silly enough to allow people access to your MobileMe account then that could be a problem but if you are the only person with access then it isn’t.
