Android 2.2 introduces support for enterprise applications by offering the Android Device Administration API. Administrators can enforce password policies — including alphanumeric passwords or numeric PINs — across devices. Administrators can also remotely wipe (that is, restore factory defaults on) lost or stolen handsets.
