Shauna: That’s pretty much what Nokia Locate is – it’s tiny, really small. If you spread it out, I suspect it’d be as thin as a credit card… at least, one with RFID in, like an Oyster Card or a PayWave card.

Some one should create a credit card size tracking device to put in the wallet or make the tracking devices available for GPS

Thinking about it, this is not exactly what I was looking for. My idea was a chip that can be sticked into a mobile phone, car keys, wallet etc and have a small device attached to your watch or a wrist band for example. The wrings band should be wirelessly connected to the chips and should have a sound mechanism in a way that when your wrist band is separeted from the chips, it triggers a sound so that you can come back to the item lost and pick it up before is too late.
Why would I need that? Because I keep lossing items on the train on my way to work and I’m fed up with it!

I want one! Where can I buy it, is it still a prototype? I’ve been dreaming with a similar device for a long time!!! I keep lossing staff on the train and I’m fed up with it.

oh it may not be an rfid application…since the demo unit used, the N95 does not have an rfid function… and there does not seem to be any extra device attached to the N95. higher probability that it uses the built in wifi module or BlueTooth

Aside from rfid, it may use the wifi or BlueTooth module to ‘triangulate’ and look for items. I want one now! 5 pcs sold already…

I like this idea, imagine how much faster it would be to find your keys, or for that matter, your car!

Now if they can just come up with something to make it easier to find my marbles… that I would be willing to buy.

Echoing the prev comments. I would immediately buy this. Great, the first 4 sold already.

I’d buy a Nokia to get this. I get so frustrated that I can neither Google or phone my car keys

I wonder it’s a RF ID application. How amazing the tag could be detected within 100 meters. I can way to see the inside of the tag.
