iOS 5 - the operating system feature bump for up-to-date iPhones, iPod touchs, and iPads - is now available to download, and it comes with about 200 or so nifty new features to enjoy.

Hit Settings> General> Restrictions and tap "Enable Restrictions". Enter a passcode (and remember it, so you can turn these off in the future) and then choose Require Password. You can flick between every 15 minutes and every time.
