TECHNOLOGY TIPS - NEVER MISPLACE YOUR IPHONE AGAIN
Bikn,(pronounced bee-Kin) an iPhone-based tracking system for your phone and all your other important
stuff, available soon.
You've got three elements here: an app, an iPhone case with a mind of its own and a bunch of little tags to put on the other things in life you couldn't stand losing. You can even choose your base and highlight colors for more personalization.
You'll download the app and slip your phone into the case. The case
sends out a signal even if the phone is dead. Then you'll attach the tags to
other valuable stuff like your keys, the dog or even the kids.
If any of it goes missing, the app'll tell you the direction and how many feet away it is on a sort of digital treasure map (maybe you can get the distance in paces). If the phone itself goes missing, the tags will send out a signal that makes it beep until you find it.
No more worrying about dropping your phone when you ride those roller coasters.
