According to PocketNow.com The Samsung Jack is having limited access to users to fiddle with the registry and even limitations to installing some of the most common third party software is not supported. What were they thinking we are not in iPhone land here, in the land of Windows Mobile we dont like hardware manufactures restricting the users like this and thanks to Mobility Minded we have a fix to remove this restrictions.

• The first step of removing the security limitations is to download the ClearSecurity file.
• Next, connect the Samsung Jack to the computer and move the file to the device through ActiveSync.
• Install ClearSecurity and launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager.
• Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.
• Run a registry editor program like Total Commander and delete the file ForceCellConnection from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Comm>InternetSharing>Settings.

After Koushik Dutta posted the Stylus Sensor API new applications exploiting these features were going to surface @ xda-dev it was just a matter of time and here is one of the first Stylus Sensor application by ZuinigeRijder. Its a lock / unlock utility for devices like HTC Touch Pro / Diamond. Its got a bit of a learning curve than the other lock application.

How to use:
* Choose your “stylus lock mode”, by using the method above
- e.g. if you want to put the TD in your pocket, enable “stylus lock mode”
- e.g. if you have your TD lying on the table, disable “stylus lock mode”
- e.g. you can also use always the “stylus lock mode” when your are fine to take out the stylus for unlocking (you do not need to operate the Power button anymore)
