"Lock Apps" App

Newbie
I'm not sure if this exists yet but I'd be willing to pay $2, even $5, for it.

Although the lock screen is useful for keeping unauthorized people out, sometimes a friend wants to check Facebook, look something up, or just play a game but they have a dumb phone.

There needs to be an app where you can lock certain apps [such as the market (just in case they accidentally buy something), gmail/email (for obvious reasons), or maybe that app that you use when you're lonely and bored (lolz!)]. To enter the app, you could either either a number code or do a pattern like on the lock screen. Apps should also require a password when accessed from the notification bar.

However, if you're sick of it always asking for your password/pattern, there should be a way to turn it off (like when you're using it and nobody wants to use your phone anymore).

There's an app for this on a jailbroken iPod/iPhone in Cydia called Lockdown (I have it on my 1st gen iPod).
Feedback?
 
I'm not sure if this is possible. Even if it is, a user can just delete the app from the settings page, so it would only really useful against very young kids or ignorami.
 
Sounds like a pain in the Azz for the user if to access all the apps that you would have to give a code on each app. certainly it can be done though.
