With the ever-growing plethora of items you need to keep track of, it's a sure bet that you'll eventually lose something just when you need it most. Like that time you lost your car keys and had to hitchhike to work on the morning of your performance review. At least you got to use the carpool lane.
Thank the heavens for the Loc8tor personal locator device. Utilizing a locator and a series of small attaching "tags," the Loc8tor can keep tabs on cellphones, remotes, pets and those pesky kids of yours who keep running off to play with the neighbor's dog. When an item is missing, just tell the Loc8tor which item to locate. Based on its corresponding attached tag, and using a combination of audio and visual cues, the Loc8tor will lead you to your missing item -- up to 600 feet away.
The Loc8tor even allows you to set up safety zones for items. For example, if your pet or child leaves a predetermined area, the Loc8tor will tell you with audible, visual and vibrating alerts.
With the ability to have 24 individually tagged items, the days of losing your stuff are numbered. Unless, of course, you lose the Loc8tor. Then you're on your own.

Helio threw down the gaunlet this week with the introduction of the Drift. Sure, you can get a ton of work done with the Treo and Motorola Q, but you can't work all the time, and the folks at Helio know it.
Thanks to the new Drift, gone are the days of standing in front of a random bar, trying to coordinate your friends coming to meet you from different directions. Using the Buddy Beacon program built into the device, satellites will pinpoint your Helio Drift-toting friends on a Google map and display their position right on your phone.
The GPS-enabled Google map software isn't just for playing a sweet game of drunken hide and seek, it can also be used for real-time traffic reports, step-by-step directions to the location of your choice, and satellite imagery for a bird's eye view of a desired location.
The Drift is rounded out with high speed 3G network support, Bluetooth, 2.0 megapixel camera, mp3 player and mpeg support for VOD and videos you made of yourself during your last pub crawl. Combine all that with Helio's MySpace support and you have yourself the best party mobile device money can buy.
