Buddycloud

We're currently testing an iphone 'lojacking' tool - the official buddycloud iphone client.

It'll be available to everyone who has a jailbroken iphone and has the apptapp installer on their phone. We do note the irony of releasing this tool in the same week that the official appstore comes online. However, there are a few benefits of using the buddycloud iphone client:

It runs in the background! It isn't possible (yet) to have your iphone record where you go - without the user manually 'checking in' to each place you go with your iphone. GPS or not - there's no backgroundable way to record where you go with the iphone 2.0.

We support the iphone 1.0. We don't rely on gps or known wifi points, or known celltower locations to record your 'place history'. We do it using our very own magical formula, that let you record a very cool location history. I (ben) have been using it on and off for about a month now - and it's very cool having a record of places you have been.
