[Tongue-in-cheek-post]
I've heard from more than one person that there are some places they won't travel with their iPad, they are afraid of being mugged with it.
Perhaps Apple could build in an anti-muggery feature: when the motions sensors detect a violent struggle, it charge up a single powerful charge, using most of the battery's capacity. And when the struggle ceases, the pad will give a powerful electric shock, incapacitating the robber.
Of course the rightful owner will be aware that if he wins the struggle, he should put *down* the iPad very fast!

Actually, if an iPad is stolen, it goes into a "lock-down" mode in which it won't run any software not pre-approved by Apple.
Beware Eolake!
I will steal your iPad.
jus' kiddin'
MB, you're joking, right? Because that's how it is normally. :-)
But I see your point.
If that's the atmosphere in your environment, buy a TASER!
Zap your enemies while they commit theft?!
An older woman in the neighborhood has one of them very loud pocket alarms.
I think if get that old and nervous, I might go for pepper spray.
A couple of ounces of C4 built into the iPad would take care of it.
Pressing a key combination starts a 15 second timer...
The timer is called iTick.
The result is iCrater.
[Careful, now it gets really sick.]
We could do with a smaller charge, if a software widget tell the thief to look very close at a circle on the screen.
The result is called the eye-crater.
