It'll be great when "Find my iPhone" becomes "Find my Apple". I know it's already on iPad and iPod, but the next logical step is Mac. Wouldn't it be cool if Apple embedded a cellular chip into every MacBook that operated "Find My" for free and if you wanted a data plan, you could buy it?
There's already some great stories out there about Macs getting recovered, but the owner had to wait until it got connected to the internet... I think this type of feature would be awesome.
I also reaffirm other people's concern about security related to Mail Accounts. If you go to modify settings on an existing/installed mail account, you should be prompted to re-authenticate your password.
Having a password at log-in/unlock is not enough. Friends play jokes and good Samaritans let strangers use their phone to make a call. Just because we are trusting shouldn't make us vulnerable. Trusting and Secure shouldn't be exclusive.
