Screen lock with memory wipe

Hello there. I wonder if there is an opportunity to develop a screen lock app that if you type the wrong password more than 3 times, it performs a soft reset on your phone.

Yes im paranoid and i really dont want other ppl to see whats on my phone if it gets stolen.

I appreciate all help, tips and ides you guys have to give.
 
Just buy a security app from the market. You can lock/wipe/locate/ etc. etc. From another smartphone or PC. Lookout, TekTrak, where's my droid, and Seekdroid are just a few examples. If your phone is ever stolen or lost you're going to be glad you have a security app.
 
well i have a security app. the problem is if the cops arrest me i dont want them to be able to search my phone. i want it to automaticly wipe if the password is incorrect more than 3 times.

If the cops arresting you is a top concern for you, might want to stop whatever you are doing or don't want them to see.
