Whistle to find your iPhone with Where Is My Phone

Sep 4, 2010 11:00 am

I got an e-mail about this a while ago, and while it is definitely a neat idea, I’m not sure that native iOS APIs can really do it justice. Having that giant red bar at the top of the screen can get annoying fast, I’m sure, and my iPhone 3GS runs out of RAM so [...] [more]
