Check out: "Apple's Find My iPhone / iPad service now free, doesn't require MobileMe" -
www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/22/apples-find-my-iphone-ipad-service-now-free-doesnt-require/?icid=engadget-iphone-url We'd been sort of hoping Apple would just make
MobileMe a completely free service, but it looks like we're taking baby steps instead:
Find My iPhone / iPad is now free for iPhone 4, the iPad, and the fourth-gen iPod touch running
iOS 4.2.1. As with the paid feature, you'll be able to locate your device on a map, lock it, display a message, play a sound, or remotely wipe your data from any browser or the
updated iOS app, which should presumably go live sometime today
along with iOS 4.2.1 itself. Like we said, it's a baby step, but hey -- we never say no to free.
