What's up with the Tile?
 

Has anybody seen the ad for the "Tile", ad states you can pre order at 19.95 each. Will make delivery in the spring. I have seen ads suggesting over 100,000 pre ordered. That's a wack of money, now I see ads for pre order for summer delivery.

Has anyone here ordered this product? Does anyone know of any of these that have hit the consumer?

The idea is brilliant but, does it work? Does it even exist?

I haven't ordered but would consider if it works.

The only thing that i don't like about it is the range of only 150ft. I was hoping I could put in my daughters car and see where she really is.. lol..

So everyone else knows what it is....

I think I read that you could post on a message board this link to the tile and other users could locate the said tile. A network of tile users finding each others stuff for them. Guess when I think about that it could become a way for others to get your stuff.

If this thing catches on, the inevitable security breach will be huge.

I love the sound of it. But I think I'll wait until Tile v2 comes out and get some better distance.

Great idea. Just being able to make it ring would be enough for me. I would attach it to my phone. Wait ...

But seriously, what's the pre-order BS? Is this common?

Kinda makes you wonder, spring sold out yet doesn't look like any have been shipped.

Trying to sell out summer so fall orders coming soon.

I pre-ordered some about 4? months ago. Haven't received an update in about 2 months. Should be coming soon I think. I'll follow up once I get them.

Hadnt heard of these. Looks pretty cool.

I think the clever thing about them, and what may make them successful, is they are cheap and not complicated.

For a glorified RFid tag, $15 apiece doesn't seem very cheap to me.

Edit: Especially considering they only last a year.

Interesting. I guess you need one on your iPhone to use someone else's iPhone to find your iphone.

I could have used one on my iPad that I left on a plane and never found. Since it was wi-fi only I never found it with icloud.

GTC could you explain your statement? Not technically equipped to understand what you mean.

Any updates if anyone received or is currently using. I would like some reviews if possible.

I'm still waiting for mine but I'll post as soon as I try them out.

So it's been a while, nobody has responded that they have received there tile.

Anybody have any comments or was this just a very large scam.

Just curious cause i thought it was a great idea.

Saltillo is my fav. - I have my whole house tiled with it.....diagonally!

Baz, just a suggestion.... furniture man furniture

First thing I thought, kinda cool... but kinda pricy for what it is.

I presume you know there is a app for that? I also presume your daughter would just turn the app off (J/K no disrespect to your daughter).
