If you have ever lost or misplaced your keys or phone the likelihood is you are not the only people to have done. With today’s news we are able to tell you about a device that will help you avoid that situation from now on.

The device is called the Cobra Tag. It is a tag that clips on to whatever you wish whether it be your purse of keys. It is designed to interface with BlackBerry and Android smartphones using Bluetooth. You can use it in two ways; the first is by activating the Cobra Tag’s integrated alarm using your mobile’s app in case you lose whatever the tag is attached to or by activating an alarm on your mobile phone using the Cobra Tag in case you lose that.

The news comes from an article at AndroidCommunity which explains how the alarm can also be set to alarm if the keys or phone are separated from each other. The Cobra app that the Tag uses can be downloaded from the mobile app store.

Both the app and the Cobra Tag will be available in July this year. For more details about the gadget check out the link above. What do you think of this handy device? Will you be getting one? Let us know in the comments below.

Android users to get Cobra iRadar: Speed Gun Detection App http://www.product-reviews.net/2011/03/16/android-users-to-get-cobra-iradar-speed-gun-detection-app/ http://www.product-reviews.net/2011/03/16/android-users-to-get-cobra-iradar-speed-gun-detection-app/#comments Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:47:07 +0000 Chris Cook http://www.product-reviews.net/?p=125519 If you’re an Android mobile user you find you seem to always get caught speeding when you don’t even realize you’re doing it, by cameras you don’t even know are there, then that could all change now that the Cobra iRadar speed detection app is available to you.

Since last year Cobra’s app has been assisting iPhone users in avoiding speeding by warning them when a speed gun or camera is detected, it also warns them when they are over the current speed limit. The announcement that the iRadar system will also feature on Android devices came at the gdgt Live event at SXSW.

According to the article by Damon Lavrinc at Translogic, the app will be available sometime in April. Cobra uses a combination of the app and a radar detector that can be mounted to the dashboard and takes advantage of the GPS already on the Android device.

More details can be found in the full article by clicking the link above. You will also find a video of the Cobra iRadar in action on an iPhone.
