I was thinking exactly that. It seems like the DSP is one of the few things that sets this phone apart from some of the HTCs and the 3GS, so we should really consider how to use that strength in software development.

Additionally, along with being able to lock the phone and start having it send it's GPS location every minute or so, there should be another command that makes it start "screaming" - whatever trick can be used to get the most dB out of the speakers and headphone jack, flash the screen, hell, even get the camera flash to start strobing. This would make it a lot easier to pick your phone out of a crowd, and make you a lot less suspicious in the eyes of people who might be around.
