| StickNFind Locator System Makes Finding Lost Items Much Easier |
| Date : 01/12/2012 Comments(1) |
| |
| By simply placing a small sticker onto any item, you can use a Bluetooth paired iOS or Android phone to determine how far away that item is. The app uses a radar-like feature that shows the distance you are from the object, up to its 100ft max. While it does not show direction from the phone, that is easily discovered by simply moving around and narrowing it down based on distance, reminiscent of the child game of hotter/colder. |

While we loved the device for its sleek glass finish and excellent performance, we were equally perturbed by LG’s insistance on a locked bootloader. Since it has largely the same hardware as the Nexus 4, it would be a prime candidate for custom ROM lovers everywhere. |

Actually, save for the dual-core A5 chip, the 4S doesn’t have much novelties to boast with in the hardware department except for the snapper. It seems, though, that the 8-megapixel camera which Apple touts as “the you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone camera“ and “it just might be the best camera on a phone” falls short when compared to the camera on the year-old Nokia N8. |
