Apple Releases Find My iPhone App for iPhone, iPad, iPod

Apple has released a Find My iPhone App for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

If you lose your iPhone or iPad while on the go, simply install this free app on any other iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to find it. Sign in with your member name and password (MobileMe subscription required) to locate your missing device on a map and have it display a message or play a sound. You can even remotely lock the device to protect your privacy, or wipe it to permanently delete all of your data if you think that it won’t be returned.

FEATURES
– Locate your iPhone or iPad on a map
– Display a message and optionally play a sound for two minutes at full volume even if your device is set to silent
– Remotely set a passcode lock on your device (or lock it using your existing passcode)
– Remotely wipe your device to permanently erase all of your personal data


The app will automatically sign you out after 15 minutes of inactivity or you can manually sign out at any time. Please note that you must first set up your MobileMe account and turn on Find My iPhone on each device you want to locate (installing the app is not required).

You can download Find My iPhone from the App Store for free.
