I'm pretty sure you could set the device to blank after enough failed passcode atempts before 3.0. Wasn't opening links in another tab in safari by holding the link until a pop up menu appeared a feature of the last OS?
And yep, still not a newt. At least spotlight and C&P are steps in the right direction, albeit small long over due steps :-(
