200p Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Basically it is a small electronic tag that you can attach to anything (or anyone!), and it will tell you where your tag is on your smart phone. Never lose anything again! They only last a year, and will need to be renewed each year. http://www.thetileapp.com/?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=CPC&mkwid=ciezXWYFa&pcrid=31002963774&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilf Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Are people losing that much stuff ? In 40 years on this earth I have never once lost my keys, wallet or anything I though was worth not losing. Although it begs the question, what happens when you can't find your phone? Especially given you are such an idiot you so routinely mislay something you need one of these in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissy_fit Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I reckon these look pretty handy, but refuse to get them due to the price and the fact that they don't last. If you own a tablet and a phone you only have to find one of them to be able to find everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "lost" my tin with rollies in once. When I say "lost" I actually mean left in a club on Princess Street. Rang up as soon as the cleaners were in and it wasn't to be found. I did give up smoking not that long after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagle Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Missing a trick here. Make it far smaller and people would be queueing up to slip it in their other halfs handbag/car etc. That's exactly what I was thinking, it looks small enough to be hidden in a women's handbag already.

swissy_fit Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 100ft range or within 100ft of any phone running Tile, so tracking errant children or partners may not be so easy. They need to make a golf ball with the same gizmo in. Won't help much if it goes in a lake though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
