no thats true, it wont help if people decide they want to hurt you for the device but it can mean that you can track it and give the location to police or wipe the telephone so at least they cant use it.

Does that work with the free iPhone app? Which app takes a pic of the mugger who tries to access the phone?

They probably wouldn't get you unless you are dead asleep somewhere. I've read where someone tried to mug a woman in a wheelchair and she pulled out a GUN!!! Good for her I say!!!! Never underestimate ANYONE.

My wife and I were in NYC last week. I never saw so many iPhones in peoples hands as I did this trip. Little wonder the BG are finding easy targets.


I did visit the Apple store on Fifth Avenue and it was packed! There were five or six lines fifteen to twenty people deep waiting to pay for their purchases.

Someone is doing something right!
