One could even take this a step further and enable remote locking and 
wiping. Once we have a fully working 1.0-Release of the official Android 
client, one could think off building this right in. IMHO: This could be 
a killer feature to make ownCloud more popular!

If anybody feels like building an App for the ownCloud server side of 
things so that it's ready when we are - I would encourage him / her to 
get started on this ;-)
