Steal This iPhone
Thursday, October 4, 2007
Note to thieves: If you are going to steal a cell phone, make sure it is an iPhone.
So we have been getting quite a few questions regarding whether we offer a theft recovery software solution for the iPhone. I hate to say it, but the answer is no. We tried, but given Apple’s current attitude when it comes to folks tinkering with their precious iPhone we have decided to put that on the back burner. But, you will be glad to know that support for most of the OTHER major mobile phone platforms will be available shortly. Sony Ericsson phones are the next platform that we will be launching here shortly, followed by more in the coming weeks.
So a little advice to thieves. If you are going to steal a phone, play it safe and make it an iPhone. Until Apple opens up the platform to developers, folks like us cannot develop anti-theft solutions for them. Any other phone you steal just might be a GadgetTrak snitch!
