I suppose that's true, but I was hopeful for a few moments. Why make it any easier than you have to...
I'm pulling a blank on the developer who has a tracking app, looks cool (reports back device phone number and gps location) but with 4.5 and the easy removal of all apps on a device wipe it doesn't seem so useful anymore. :(
