GPS tracker PocketFinder gets 10,000 downloads on iPhone and Android

Location Based Technologies today announced that its GPS locater PocketFinder service has been downloaded more than 10,000 times since its debut as an Apple iPhone and Google Android smartphone application two months ago.

What does PocketFinder do?

It’s a small GPS tracking device. Owners can access a large number of features for the device through the internet or their mobile phones. For more details, see our original article on the PocketFinder.

From the release:

“We are absolutely delighted that the PocketFinder service has received such unprecedented attention,” said Dave Morse, CEO of Location Based Technologies. “The response has been gratifying to say the least and to have reached this milestone in only eight weeks is astounding. We look forward to serving thousands more smartphone users as the need for our service becomes increasingly validated around the world.”

What we think?

I always felt that this product was a little too “Big Brother” for me to be comfortable with. At the same time, it’s a service-rich, well designed little device, and Location Based Technologies had the foresight to ensure that there were compatible apps for the two most usable smartphones on the market. Just goes to show what the proper application of applications can do for you.
