At least it has a proximity sensor so it shouldn't take much code to make it do this if it doesn't out of the box.

the iphone doesn't auto lock the device when you put it into your pocket, you'll have to do it manually. they only have a timer based auto-lock option based on (lack of) user input.

The input from proximity sensor alone is not adequate to determine the device's location (is the proximity sensor covered because it's inside the pocket or covered by the user's palm/fingers due to certain app's handling requirements?).

And there's also the issue of the screen being prone to misclick during the motion to 'holster' or take it out, as mentioned in previous post.
