Location Based Technologies, Inc. (LBAS.OB) is Expanding to Apple iPhone

Location Based Technologies, Inc., developer of electronic personal locator products to help people locate children and pets, continues their expansion into the mobile phone market, announcing today that their PocketFinder® personal locator has been submitted to Apple for approval to use with Apple’s immensely popular iPhone. Apple sold nearly 7 million iPhones in just the third quarter of this year, and has sold nearly 200 million iPhone applications from its online AppStore. With the PocketFinder application, family members and other authorized remote viewers will be better able to keep track of iPhones and iPhone users.

The service will also allow users to integrate with the PocketFinder’s non-phone family of products. These small wafer-shaped devices are packed with GSM/GPS technology and can easily fit into a pocket, purse, or on a pet collar, allowing users to track movement and location. Users can even define electronic fences, for alerts when a family member or pet enters or leaves a specified area. The devices can also track vehicle speed.

Location CEO Dave Morse said, “Apple iPhone users will soon have the ability to stay connected and benefit from every PocketFinder feature including real-time location, zone and speed alerts, instant messaging, and travel history, for one low service fee. In addition, the new personal locator application will eventually support other smartphone platforms as we continue development efforts to make this capability available to their customers as well.”

The company, based in Anaheim, California, recently announced that PocketFinder is available for download to Google Android based smartphones, such as the T-Mobile G1, the first mobile phone to use the Android open standard mobile device platform.
