Will remote wipe be available now that the iPhone allows multi-tasking?

http://help.agile.ws/1Password_touch/remote_wipe.html:
For now, the answer to this question is: “yes and no.”
Background
Some of our customers have asked if 1Password touch contains a remote wipe feature, which is sometimes called a “remote kill switch.” This feature is popular in the business world because it allows owners or IT administrators to erase a device if it is lost or stolen, even if it is halfway across the city or country.
Unfortunately, 1Password touch does not have such a feature, largely because Apple does not allow third-party developers like us to run background processes. We have no way to enable 1Password touch to “listen” for a command to remotely wipe its database and protect it from loss or theft.

    Thanks for asking, Sean. Right now, we don't have any concrete plans to implement such a feature. Using MobileMe's Remote Wipe feature is still the best way to do this.
