Remote Wipe Costs $99 Per Year
The iPhone was definitely in your pocket when you got into the taxi, but now that you're home, it's nowhere to be found. What to do? If you aren't already paying $99 per year for MobileMe, you've got no way to nuke your phone from afar and protect personal information.
Ideally: Apple could offer a pay-per-use remote wipe feature, without requiring a MobileMe subscription. That'd make it less like buying insurance and more like canceling a lost check.
The workaround: A $2 app called iSecurity (Find My Phone) creates a spoof app called either iPasswords or iBlackBook. The app pretends to hold your personal information. Each time a foolish criminal tries to enter the password for this app, it e-mails you the phone's location. As an alternative, consider securing your iPhone the old-fashioned way with password protection.
