How is it Useful ?
Specially for wives who want to trace the location of their husband [will show the current location on a map - image below] . The location is determined based on two techniques . Iphone and Ipad that come with GPS get the exact co-ordinates of the devices shown on Google Maps . Ipod Touch 4 gets location information based on less precise WiFi , by locating the nearest Base Station .
The down side of this technique is that , you must have a nearby WiFi Transmitting station to locate your device .
Find My Iphone can also be used if you have lost the phone somewhere in your room and is set at silent mode . The app will then play a loud sound for two minutes . This app will also do a Remote Lock and Remote Wipe in case you have lost the phone and have a message display on it [ like " This phone is lost , call me at this number 123-91- " etc .. ] .
Find My Iphone is compatible to run on both Iphone and Ipad running on iOS 4.2.

And why is it for free now?
Is just the “Find my iPhone” feature for free or also the sync between my Macbook and my iPhone etc.?
yes , According to instructions from Apple
do i need to have another iphone with this app or i can simply use my pc? how can i seek it? i mean wich devices?
This doesnt work. I tried with my apple ID. Is there something else coz following this procedure is just a waste of time.
First of all, for MobileMe u need mail@me.com not any apple ID. When ever u try to login using apple ID . it automatically changes back to ur original apple ID. for example my apple ID is Eric.wayne@aol.com
you need to upgrade to ios 4.2.1 to see the enter apple id page … also , you must have compatible device that can use mobile me ….
Hi I have iPhone 4 and I am using AT&T network
It doesn’t work for me also. My iphone 4 version is 4.2.1 which just got activated on last Saturday. Mobile me always ask me to have the apple id @mobilme
As you know. Apple giving away mobile me account to any iphone 4 owner who upgrade to 4.2 firmware. All the info will be recorded in their server. Is there anyways the can figure that my iphone is jailbreak?
There is the possibality that they come to know that you have jailbroken your iphone and it is not illegal to jailbreak so be bold and brave and don’t worry.
Rana.
so is it possible that apple can lock my iphone?
Worked great for me. thanks!
