Apparently this new startup (and product) is going crazy! They launched on Monday, and have raised $114,860/$20,000, 574% of their goal! Apparently they're also backed by the UC Santa Barbara Technology Management Program, but that's another story...
According to TrackR Bravo's Indiegogo (http://igg.me/at/TrackRbravo/x/4336455):

Isn't it such a bummer when you lose your keys or wallet? Every time I lose something, I spend 20 minutes looking for my keys only to find them hiding in the most obvious place, possible - usually in yesterday's jeans or under the couch cushion.

That's why we invented TrackR, a simple way to keep track of items using your smartphone. After 5 years of R&D, thousands of customer feature suggestions, and 5 product revisions, we are proud to reveal TrackR bravo to the world. TrackR bravo is the slimmest and most elegant item tracking device ever created backed by the world's largest Crowd GPS network.
I just bought one (or two, actually!), since these guys are pretty legit. Anyone else getting one?
(You can get one here (http://igg.me/at/TrackRbravo/x/4336455).)
Disclaimer: Links are referral links - you can get one for free when referring another friend/person! I actually like the product, having gotten one for free from here (http://www.thetrackr.com). They're a legit business, so go and support them!
-
Yeah, that looks kind of cool. Ordering one free!
-
Oh that looks nice ! :D
Oh wait, is it only for the US ? D:
-
Hey if your gonna order one free use my link!
http://www.thetrackr.com/?ref=wPOtg
so i can get one sooner! :P
-
This is nice, assuming this is reliable. I hate when I lose important stuff and have no way to locate it x.x
-
...backed by the world's largest Crowd GPS network.
so... putting one of these on your keys means that someone other than you could use it to find them?
-
Dang! Only free in the US!
-
I wonder if I should get one and attach it to my calc...

Well do you lose it often?
-
I lose the case often... and sometimes the calc. I have a habit of putting it somewhere random every time I finish programming
I'll ask my parents later.
-
Don't attach it to the calc. Build it into it and modify it to be powered off the calc's batteries. :P

and drain them even faster? That's a horrible idea :P

Just replace them with a 3200mAh phone battery. :P

Are you sure that that would work?
P.S. with a TI-83+ and/or V200

It could work, because you can just limit the voltage that's coming out of the battery. You'd need some hardware hacks for it to work, though :P
-
These are kind of expensive if you take shipping into account. I think I'd rather lose the wallet. That would be cheaper :P

I can't do hardware hacks 'cause I'm afraid of breaking something
I'm moving to Santa Barbra.

I'm with you, i can't imagine shipping the world's smallest tracking device would cost 10 bucks ;)

We have to be careful about rechargeable batteries, though. Didn't they explode/overheat violently with the wrong voltage or using the wrong type of battery?
Example videos :P

I am not using 35 tons of batteries
