Seems like a great app but I was approaching my phone from a thief's perspective and noticed that although the app will not allow deletion without a password you can clear data. On my HTC Desire I just went to Settings/Manage_Applications/Prey/Clear Data. Then when I sent an activation text to my phone it just says Prey device is not configured and the app basically just behaves like it has only just been installed and not assigned to an account. Obviously clear data removes username and password information, is there anyway to password protect 'clear data' in the same way that 'uninstall' is password protected?
