Nokia Locate Sensor can keep track of all your stuff - read the full textThe Nokia Locate Sensor is a nifty little gadget that lets you keep track of your wallet, car keys, children (or even spouse?) within a range of 100 m by using a special application installed on your mobile phone. The Locate Sensor is still a prototype, but we really hope it'll leave the Nokia...

18 days isn't that long...less than 3 weeks.

Reminds me of my Nike+ system :). It a nice piece of gadget though. wouldn't mind getting my hands on it. hope it comes in a casing so you can easily attach it to keychain or whatever.

A good idea in principle, but constantly recharging it just defeats the purpose...what if you forget to charge it then can't find it?

"You can keep an eye on more than one item as the application supports up to 100 different tags."

Are you kiddind me? Bluetooth networks support at max 8 devices. 1 master and 7 slaves, normally.

Doubtful it is wifi based.
