Where's My Droid
    Most of us have had the experience of misplacing our phone.  Using the program 'Where's My Droid' I was able to login into my computer and identify almost exactly the location of my phone.  In this case it wasn't actually lost but if it had been left at a restaurant or some other place, this would have been helpful.   From a web browser you can instruct the phone to 'ring' even when it's on silent or have the camera flash go off.  Also most phone finding apps allow for the remote wiping of content.
