Rich Jaroslovsky of Bloomberg takes a look at devices designed to keep you from losing your expensive smartphone, and finds that the problem-solvers "intend to irritate, and by and large do a good job of it."
There are people who may be in need of such devices, since about 30 million wireless phones go missing in the U.S. each year, the story says. The Zomm is a gadget that lights up and sounds an alarm when you walk more than 30 feet away from the device to which you’ve linked it, the story says. It costs about $80 and works via Bluetooth to connect to a phone.
