There’s this thing they say about men. Can’t quite remember …
Oh that’s right:
We have a nasty habit of forgetting things.
Car keys. Directions. Anniversaries. Whether it was you or a hirsute Michael J. Fox that sunk that game-winning jumper in the playoffs senior year.
What you need is a secretary you can carry around in your pocket. And for that, there’s Tile, a new iPhone-connected property tracker.
Tile is a disposable and always-on wireless tag — easily attached to your keyring or slipped into a wallet pocket — that’s got you covered in three ways:
-
If what’s lost is within shouting distance (150 feet, give or take), the Tile app will lead you to it. You can even make your Tile chirp for help.
-
It remembers (GPS-style) the last time you were in range of what’s been lost. No more calling every bar and cab company in town or relying on faulty eyewitnesses.
-
If your lost item was stolen, flag it. Every Tile-connected phone in the world becomes a snitch on your payroll.
And with something on the order of fifty-thousand connected users, that’s a lot of word on the street, friend.
Now hup, hup. Pretty sure you’re missing an appointment.
