Have you ever lost your keys or wallet just before that important meeting or date? Well I have and it’s an embarrassing predicament of which most people would not like to get into. Its just that I have too many things on my mind and when I can’t find my car keys, you’ll have to turn the whole house upside down. Thanks to New Loc8tor Lite, you can now track small items like keys up to 400 feet away.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the average American spends 90 minutes a day frantically looking for lost and misplaced items. Unlike anything else available on the market, the new Loc8tor Lite ($79.99) uses audio and visual directional cues to guide users directly to the lost item…though I much prefer the Loc8tor Pack since that handheld version has a cool visual LCD instead of a bunch of lights.
* Smallest size tracking device of its kind, the credit card sized handheld device with tags equivalent in height to a paper clip and can fit easily into a pocket.
* From gym bags and eyeglass cases to mobile phones and laptops, Loc8tor Lite’s versatility means it can be used in almost any situation by simply attaching its discrete, easy-to-apply tag to any item.
Now would you not want to buy this the new Loc8tor Lite ($79.99) thingy ? Its a great gift for this upcoming April Fool’s Day. If you pay $20 more at $99, the Loc8tor Pack has a handheld device and 2 homing tags.
funny, my friend had something like this. loved it, until his kids lost it. ;^)
Looks like a fun gadget! I think 90 minutes a day looking for lost things may be a bit high though… maybe 90 minutes a month.
Wouldn’t it be better to develop something which can be used almost universal rather than inventing something which will tag every keys we have in order to make it easy for us to find? Undeniably, this gadget is good and nice to have it. However, the solution to this problem is to reduce the keys needed which will suit the pharse of prevention is better than cure.
