Starting June 17th when the iPhone 3.0 is released MobileMe will be able to find your iPhone & do some amazing stuff once it is found.
Locate your iPhone on a map.
To use Find My iPhone just enable it in the MobileMe settings on your phone. Then you can log in to me.com from any computer to access Find My iPhone and display your phone’s approximate location on a map.
Display a message or play a sound on your lost iPhone.
You can write a message that will be displayed on your iPhone or you can tell MobileMe to play a sound that overrides the silent setting on your phone.
Protect your privacy with Remote Wipe
If you lose your iPhone and displaying a message on it hasn’t resulted in its safe return, you can initiate a remote wipe to restore it to the factory settings.
View iDisk files on your iPhone
The free iDisk app which will be available from the App Store in iTunes, lets you view your iDisk files right on your iPhone. Popular file types, such as Microsoft Office and iWork ’09 documents and presentations, PDFs, and more, are viewable in landscape or portrait. Any file you’ve viewed recently doesn’t need to be reloaded. So if you start reading a document in the cab to the airport, you can quickly resume reading it on the plane.
Files that are too big to email can be shared. iDisk will send your recipient an email with a link to download your file. You can limit the number of days a shared file is available and set a password to protect it. And you don’t even need to download a file first to share it.
Wow, Apple really needs to just put a complete lock on the iPhone (option). Locking everthing, but you can still type messages through mobile me, to retrieve your iPhone. This way if you have no luck with getting your iPhone back and the person doesn't contact you or nobody has even found it yet, you might get nervous and not wanting all your info out there and restore the iphone…. then (I am guessing) your out of luck, if someone finds it after that and you could have got it back…. Just Lock out the iPhone, but through mobile me, send messages….. This would be much better….. but overall a plus.
yes lock will be great,just a lock on the lockscreen so no one gets in there but can see the messages.
No other phone in the world has what apple has done with the iphone. no palm pre no nokia can match this. Apple is laughing singing -you can't touch this-
