GadgetTrak® for iPhone & iPod Touch - Alpha
The First Anti-Theft Application for iPhone and iPod Touch
We launched GadgetTrak for the iPhone in August of 2008 and it has consistently been listed in the top free applications ever since. As pioneers in theft recovery and data protection GadgetTrak provides the most advanced solutions for many different platforms, in fact anti-theft is all we do. As innovators we were selected early on in the developer beta by Apple.
Why Free?
Although the iPhone has revolutionized the mobile space and given developers unprecedented access to quickly build applications, the access that developers currently have to the device is limited in comparision to other platforms we support such as Mac OS X, Windows, BlackBerry OS and Windows Mobile. We are sure this will change as Apple provides more access to the device, however we decided to release our application for free as a result of these limitiations. Currently the only way to trigger an application is to click on it, there are no background processes on the iPhone that developers can access. We will be making changes and adding more advanced functionality to our iPhone application as the iPhone platform matures and GadgetTrak can provide more robust protection for the device.
We have had quite a few people copy our application and are even charging for it, we don't think this is right given the limitations of the iPhone, so we are continuing to offer the application for free.
Our History
In February of 2007, GadgetTrak launched its first product, GadgetTrak USB, which was the first theft recovery solution for portable media devices. GadgetTrak USB covers many different types of device including flash drives, external drives as well as iPods® and other media players. GadgetTrak was issued a patent for GadgeTra USB( US Patent #7,496,201 ).
Mobile Phone and iPod Recoveries
Within a short amount of time we began to have quite a few recovery stories for iPods and other devices, we are the first company to ever recover a stolen iPod. Our technology was featured quite a bit in the media including Dateline NBC in their segment and iPod theft sting operation.
Since the success of GadgetTrak USB we have continued our innovation to expand the platforms and devices we protect including laptops and mobile phones.
