Nokia Locate Sensor would be of help to those travelling overseas, especially in crime infested countries where kidnappings are rampant. Try bringing it along when you find time to visit the Philippines, who knows it would be your last resort…

@SoulBlade, i think he means that Nokia Locate Sensor should be cheaper…

If i remember correctly, some rumours announced something arround 100€ for each sensor, number that i personlaly find Big, but i don’t give rumours that importance…

Let’s wait and see, and hope for the best.

Btw, despite the (possible) high price may turn this device an elitist technology, the situations it can help prevent are priceless.

@David Durant, like Mike said, it is indeed a good point, but reading it, i have the feeling that you don’t have kids yet.

If i take my son on a walk or to the mall, i’ll do my best to have him allways on my sight, but as manny of us know, sometimes bad things happen.

As an example, two days ago, here in Portugal, some guy left his 9 months son inside his car for 3 hours, resulting on the death of the young. The man used to drop his kid on day-care, and go to his work, that was 100 feet far from it..

I know it is streched, but imagine that this father used this kind of technology… Today, he’d be laughing about what happened. (ok, laughing in the outside, because i can only imagine how it feels to pass by this ).

@David Durant, That’s an interesting opinion, and a couple of good points. As for my opinion, as a father of two very young kids, on this suggested use I see it as a tool that wouldn’t affect the parenting practices (or natural instincts), but rather could act as an extra safeguard. Of course, such a tool could never replace eye-on-child supervision, but should a momentary lapse of concentration occur, such a use could prove invaluable when every second counts. Especially if you’ve got a few kids in something such as a playground environment. No? Your second point is equally thought provoking, however laden with a such a vast sea of variables such as culture, location, and age, to make it impossible to draw any lines in the sand. Or should that be sandpit.
