Unless you're extremely methodical and organized, chances are you've lost your car keys or wallet at least once. Such situations can become quite stressful and time-consuming.
A new device called Cobra Tag might change all that. It's fairly simple to use and accessible by anyone who owns a smartphone.
The first part of the system is the Cobra Tag sensor, a small electronic dongle that can be attached to a keychain, purse, backpack or other valuable item that you'd like to keep track of. The second part is the Cobra Tag app for Android or BlackBerry that allows your smartphone to communicate with the Cobra Tag hardware via Bluetooth connection.
When you lose your keys, simply launch the app and activate an audible chime from your keychain. The connection is bidirectional, so in the event that you misplace your smartphone, you can tap a button on the Cobra Tag sensor to ring your phone.
If you lost track of everything, well, it may be time for you to seek professional advice.
Unfortunately, Cobra Tag isn't compatible with iPhone yet. Plus, you have to be within Bluetooth range to communicate. But while this device will cost you $59.95, it's much more convenient, not to mention cooler, than fastening your belongings to your wrist or belt using chains and elastic cords.
