YouGetItBack - etag your phone or pdaHave you ever lost your mobile phone or PDA? Do you dread the day that this happens to you? Well, worry no more! YouGetItBack announces their new e-tag system to electronically keep tabs on your mobile device. Upon having your mobile device getting lost or stolen, a quick trip to YouGetItBack’s website will render the phone unusable (except to make calls to YouGetItBack’s call center) and display a homescreen wallpaper plastered with the sign “YouGetItBack.com.” The mobile device-based software “also provides a denial of service, remote delete, data backup and recovery, and guaranteed replacement functions.” The finder of the phone will even get a small reward for returning the phone – a nice little way to motivate a speedy return.
