This service is available if you have a Stanford Google account and an Android device that runs OS 2.2 or higher. As of August 2012, only Stanford undergraduates and some members of the GSB have a Stanford Google account.
If you have a Google Apps account through Stanford and you're an Android user, you can set up and manage your device through Google Apps. This gives you the tools to locate, lock, and manage your device through Google Apps in case you lose it.
