SENSE THE PRESENCE

Have you ever missed your keys? Your wallet? Or forgotten an important bag back?
After a frantic search you would feel if only you could call them.

Hello car key where are you ?
Beep beep, I’m under the bed. Said the key.
Here you go, you are not wrong in that thought. You have paved way for an innovation and someone has understood the need and served the best.

Nokia reveals the sensational sensor which enables you to keep track of anything and everything in your reach. This device does not require GPS or GPRS or WI-FI. The sensor includes its own battery which has enough power to last 18 months continuously without the next recharge. A little thumb size locator which can be tagged to your key or wallet which enables you to track it within 100 m. With the application on the phone, it will navigate you to the object. The application will show you how far you are from it.

The system works the other way around too. When you get separated from the object, an alarm will alert you. You can turn off the application when you are far away from the object or when you are away from the object the handset disables it and re-enables it when it re-enters close to you. It depends on the settings you choose. This tiny gadget can be tagged to any sort of item and the application will support up to 100 items. Unfortunately the release date is not sure. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for this marvellous creation.

This is indeed a good innovation done by nokia.... The price factor will play a major role when it is released...
As of technology it is a customer requirement and that might make a difference in the overall success of this product......

Yup, you are right. I guess this would be the core use and tagging it to keys and wallet's will be secondary.
