If you’re the type of person who constantly manages to lose stuff, there are several tools that you can now use in order to help you with that problem. Well, more like locate the stuff you lose rather than actually help you cure your forgetfulness. Smart location company Tile introduced the Tile Original a few years ago, and now they’re introducing a better version with the Tile Slim Bluetooth tracker. They’re also bringing a B2B product called Tile Smart Location Platform which can enable businesses to incorporate the tech into their respective products.
As the name would suggest, the Tile Slim is a smaller and slimmer version of the original product, and claims it’s the smallest Bluetooth tracker. It can be used in wallets, purses, passports, tablets, laptops, or anything that can be tagged and anything that you lose easily. You can ring the Tile in order to locate your misplaced item, view the last location on your map, or if all else fails, use the Tile Community where there are supposedly helpful people who can help you find your lost or stolen item.
Meanwhile, the Tile Smart Location Platform will let businesses make their products locatable through the Tile mobile app and proprietary network. They will be able to directly embed the tech onto their product and they will be able to offer it as a value-added feature and service. Some of its first partners include EcoReco, an electric scooter, Nomad, a mobile device accessory, and Zillion, a smart wallet.
The Tile Slim will cost $30 each or $100 for a four-pack. It is now available on the Tile website and through retailers and carriers like Amazon, AT&T, Best Buy, T-Mobile, Target, and Verizon. They did not give details for the Tile Smart Location Platform, but there is a contact us button on their website.
