Google on Tuesday rolled out a feature for its recently launched Android Device Manager that lets users lock down a stolen Android device from anywhere, via the Web.

It might be asked why Google took so long to roll out its remote lock capability; iOS has had it for three years, and there are several third-party remote lock and tracking apps for Android devices.
