Hello All,
I have been playing around with a few tools over the past few days to allow you to locate and/or wipe your lost android friend. I figured I would write a short review of 3 of them

Lookout Mobile Security - Lookout's security suite provides both Anti-Virus and Remote Lost/Wipe Abilities. Lookout also has a cool "Plan B" tool that you can install on the phone, even after its lost via the android market web interface.

Prey Project - Prey offers a unique open source approach to lost device recovery. It is even cross platform.


Cerebius - This is by far my favorite. For a one time fee, you monitor up to 5 devices via a web interface. This tool has the ability to hide itself from the app drawer. You can screenshot, take a photo, lock the device, take a video, track the GPS and even verbally say a message.

Currently have 60 devices under our umbrella at the moment.

But I'll look into it either way.

I've tried Lookout and Prey Project, but Cerberus looks great. Testing it now
