Thanks to iPhone app, a teenager was able to recover his stolen iPhone from a notorious family of criminals. The teen had set up the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature on the new 3GS phone. This application allows users to track and wipe personal content from their phone in case it gets lost or stolen.
When the device was stolen from his father’s car in Colorado, he was able to use the site, powered by MobileMe, to track down the stolen property and help police catch the criminals.
‘My dad and I had been on a river trip and when our group returned to our cars, all four had windows broken and all the valuables taken from the car,’ said Dustin.
‘We submitted our case to the nearby police and started on our five-hour journey home – but when we got back I remembered that I had set up ‘Find My iPhone’ on the MobileMe site and immediately got on and tracked it.
‘It ended up being at a house close to where it was stolen, so I called up the policeman that had taken our case and told him where it was located.

Its vehicles are used to surviving pretty tough terrain.
Now Land Rover has produced what it claims is the world’s first indestructible mobile phone.
For £250 you can expect a handset that will withstand temperatures of minus 20c, can be submerged in water and will survive being dropped on to concrete from a height of 6ft.
Wrapped in a tough rubber coating, the Land Rover S1 phone has been approved for use by the military.
It is proving a hit with both gadget collectors and the incurably clumsy.
Tesco, which began selling the phone this week, says it is already outselling its most popular brands.
It doesn’t look like much. It features a 2.0 megapixel camera, a battery capable of 1,500 hours of life and a loud ringtone. The phone is currently available in the UK for £25 per month with an Orange contract or for £249.99 from Tesco.
