The application also allows users to set a password lock, remotely wipe their device if it contains any sensitive information and even display a message with a sound to help pinpoint the exact location of the handset. To take advantage of the app, consumers will need to own an iPhone 4, iPad or fourth generation iPod Touch that runs on iOS 4.2.
