- Require device to have a PIN
- Define password complexity
- Remote Wipe
- Number of attempts before device is wiped
- Idle lock timeout

These policies can be enforced on devices that have installed the Google Apps Device Policy application, which will be available from Android Market in the next few days.

Premier and Education Editions

Languages included:
US English Only (Next Generation Control Panel)

How to access what's new:
Administrators can log into the Control Panel, then ‘Service Settings’ and ‘Mobile’ to access the new settings.
