Find My iPhone is an app enables Apple owners to track down their missing device using the internal GPS sensor that is equipped in all mobile gadgets. After downloading the latest iOS 4.2 mobile software and the free app, all users need to do is sign-in to Apple's website to locate their missing device and look at a map. The application also allows users to set a password lock, remotely wipe their device if it contains any sensitive information and even display a message with a sound to help pinpoint the exact location of the handset. To take advantage of the app, consumers will need to own an iPhone 4, iPad or fourth generation iPod Touch that runs on iOS 4.2.
While the app is certainly a bonus for owners of Apple mobile devices, it will be the end for Mobile Me, the company's subscription-based collection of software and online services. But ask Mobile Me customers and they'll tell you this is a good thing.
Get this app, it's bound to help you at some point.
