Google has announced a new feature for Android called 'Android Device Manager' that will let you find your lost phone.
Here's some of the features...
Locate and ring your misplaced device If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.
Protecting your personal information and data While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can’t be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.
Android Device Manager will be available later this month via an app and the web for devices running Android 2.2 or higher.
Hrm... I suppose apple invented the cell phone or came out FaceTime before Skype, Maps before Google Maps, the calculator app before the calculator, Message app before sms... etc. LOL fanboys...
its about f\/cking time!!! I can't count how many f\/cking times I couldn't find any of my android phones I happen to be using at the time and spend hours looking for them and then give up, then find it later under a cushion or pillow or in plain f\/cking sight!!! I never have had to worry about any of my apple sh1t because of this app
As an Apple fanboy this is good for everybody. I'm glad there is finally one thing Apple did first. But this is very good in general. And smartphone user needs his feature 'just-in-case'
