iFind

I really hate it when I can't find my wallet or keys. I even had to buy a new car key once, which are very expensive (200€). The iFind doesn't need a battery, as it's competitors (like http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) do, makes it an instant buy for me. "A Bluetooth device without a battery? Is it really possible? Yes, it is now with the iFind Tag, our patent pending implementation of Energy Harvesting circuits and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE). Basically, ambient electromagnetic sources such as Wi-Fi transmitters, cell-phone antennas, and TV masts can be converted into enough electrical currents and stored in a power bank in iFind, which simulates a battery that continually supports a BLE radio."

Got a letter from Kickstarter: Hello, This is a message from Kickstarter’s Trust & Safety team. We’re writing to notify you that the iFind - The World's First Battery-Free Item Locating Tag project has been suspended, and your $40.00 USD pledge has been canceled.

This item looks very cool although this space is getting crowded. I'd love to check it out when it comes out (after preorders)

@rrhoover Ryan, it might be wise to change the title of this hunt since it seems to be some kind of a scam.

The guys from iFind are continuing development → https://www.facebook.com/ifindap...

Ordered as well. Looks better on the eye than tile.
