Remote Wipe Iphone... anything out there?

[PapaST]

Hey guys, I did a quick google and forum search but didn't come across anything substantial. Do you know if there's an app out there that can remotely wipe your iPhone in case it is stolen?

You can set a passcode and after 10 failed attempts it wipes the phone. I dont think theres an app that will ever do that because I dont think the SDK allows apps to touch any data other other then the stuff it creates.

If you have Exchange in your company environment, Exchange can do this as well. If a phone is reported lost or stolen, remote wipe can be invoked from 'server side' ...

Note: The iPhone currently will not allow remote wiping, however there are plans for this in the future.

My iphone was stolen, i used gmail as the email program. bought new phone today and tried the following with success. i sent myself a couple emails and updated them on my new phone, i then went to gmail on my pc and and selected them to be archived. when i pushed for new emails on iphone the emails were gone. i selected all emails ever sent to me through gmail and archived them, when i pushed for emails on my new iphone the 16 emails i got today were gone. i have to assume that all the emails on my stolen iphone were also removed.

In response to mugdiller. I think that if u Activated a new phone. The old one stops working therefore no Internet to update or make changes to the emails on your phone. All the emails would stay on the phone. Until that person tries to sync onto a computer and needs to wipe it clean.

thanks bwise05. i should have done it before att deactivated sim card. local att store mislead me saying once they 'burn' sim card phone is useless and no info obtainable. i changed every password i have and don't think they will be able to do much with the emails.
