Phonelocator in the media
Phonelocator has featured on a few different blogs and news sites in the past few days. Thanks to Keir Clarke for this post on google maps mania.
Thanks too to Glenn Letham (Glen 95 – The Nokia N95 user) for this blog post. Glen has also described phonelocator as “one of his favourite things” here He goes on to say, “[phonelocator] allows you to view the location of your phone and a trail of where it has been using this website – your very own mobile dog leash!”
Particular thanks goes to Rafe Blandford who wrote this story about phonelocator for allaboutsymbian
which has resulted in a slew of different stories relating to phonelocator. Including this one, this one and this one in German.
The most unusual post is this one ‘Apocalypso’ from symbian-freak has gone to the trouble of re-designing the phonelocator logo:
