Smartphones Help you Find Anything Using Tracker Devices

Let’s face it, you probably can’t count on only one hand the amount of times you have lost your wallet, keys and/or cell phone. Lucky for all of us, there are several tracking devices that will help you find your wallet and keys and a few of those trackers will also help you find your phone. A few of these devices started out as kickstarter projects so they could be funded by anyone interested. Two of them  (Tile and PhoneHalo) have finally come to fruition.

Lets start with Tile . It  is just what it seems to be, a small tile that can be connected to a keychain or stuck to a laptop.

Track your stuff with Tile
Tile tracker
  • Works with iPhone 4S and newer, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd gen and newer, and iPod Touch 5th gen and newer.
  • You can see yourself getting closer and further away from the Tile when within a 50 – 150ft range.
  • Use Tile on as many things as you want. Add up to 8 Tiles on an account.
  • Tiles will play you a melody if triggered. If you can hear it, you can find it.
  • The app remembers where it last saw your Tile, so you can easily find it right where you left it.
  • Tiles last a year. We’ll remind you when it’s time to order new Tiles and send you an envelope to recycle your old ones.

Phone Halo StickR TrackR is pretty similar to Tile but it has a built-in, replaceable battery. It also allows you to track your phone if you have the TrackR device. It has a button on it which will alert your phone. Watch Video

Proximo Tag
  • Proximo Tracker is similar to the others. There is a Fob for your keys and a smaller Tag for your purse or laptop bag.
  • Available for both iPhone and Galaxy S. Explore how Proximo can safeguard your phone and make every day easier.
  • A Fob on your keys and up to 4 Tags on other items means all your possessions won’t get lost.

There are tons more of these in the works and probably out there in the marketplace but these are three that I have tested and these all work great. Peace out, The Gadgetista

  4. Each service copies from the other services – but each one also has some
    unique features and effects. For years experts have been trying to understand the effects
    of porn on the mind of individuals. Awesome individuals
    like you, have truly improved my life! People
    may get pist at you, but like I say, better than getting
    pist ON! I am proud of you, to know that you are studying young lady!

    Rather than take the chance of having to spend already limited funds on a no-win lawsuit, some school
    districts are simply going back to their coeducation classes, or scrapping plans to
    start implementing single sex classes. Sex does not bring about emotional intimacy, or interest to build a loving relationship, if this was
    the case, one night stands, or dates where sex takes place after one or two dates, everyone would bond and
    and go on to build a relationship. Regarding criminal
    history, Mr. Bronson stated that he has two charges for class A armed robbery in Cumberland
    County and one charge of robbery conspiracy and attempted in York County.
