Find My iPhone now free in iOS 4.2
Good news for users concerned about their iOS device(s) being lost or stolen (and their [url="http://forum.agile.ws/index.php?/topic/2500-stolen-device-precautions/"]1Password data going missing[/url]):
[quote]The [b]Find My iPhone (for iPad or iPod touch) feature is now free[/b] to use without a MobileMe℠ subscription and helps you locate your missing device.* The [url="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8"]Find My iPhone app[/url] is a free download on the App Store℠ and lets users easily locate a missing device on a map and have it display a message or play a sound. Users can even remotely lock or wipe data from a lost device to protect privacy.[/quote]
The feature appears to be linked with the latest iOS 4.2 update but the "fine print" stipulates:
[quote]*The free Find My iPhone feature is [only] available for iPhone 4, iPad or new iPod touch (4th generation).[/quote]
I guess we can't complain if it's free, but it would have been cool to make this available to [b]all[/b] iOS 4.2 users.
More details about the feature can be found on Apple's [url="http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/"]Find My iPhone[/url] page.

[quote]According to Apple, "Once you create an account on a qualifying device, use your Apple ID and password to enable Find My iPhone on your other devices running iOS 4.2." So as long as your household has [b]one[/b] current-generation device, you can use the feature on [b]all[/b] your devices running iOS 4.2.[/quote]
