And people will remember to charge/replace the batteries in those things? I mean, it's a good idea but... say the battery lasts a year, and you have 20 of those things...

You have to send it back and buy a new one after a year. They recycle/replace the battery then. It's in the FAQ. It's $20 or cheaper.

I ordered 4.

My biggest problem is finding my girlfriend's phone. When it's on silent. In the house. That she had 2 minutes ago. No, seriously. It's fucking Houdini.

So I'm gluing one to it, one to her work phone, one to her child and one to her.

I feel less stress already.

It's a tracking device. Not exactly "revolutionary", I'm sure we all knew something like this would eventually hit the market. How do they get around the privacy issue if you can just slip a tile into someone's pocket and stalk them or attach it to a person's car, declare it lost, and use everyone's phone to keep track of their comings and goings?
