Where in the world is my iPhone?

Apple has made the Find my iPhone feature of their MobileMe service Free. All you have to do is download the app from the Apple App Store. Now, remember you've lost your phone so you'll have to download the app on a another iPhone. Once the app is installed all you have to do is enter your Apple ID and it will find your phone. This capability is only available for free for iPhone 4, iPad and 4th generation iPod Touch owners who have upgraded to iOS 4.2 and have an Apple ID. We tested this feature in the office and it worked as advertised. If you have any of the devices that qualify I recommend you get it set up before you need it.
