    Leaning on Google’s expertise in privacy and security

    Lol. Google’s expertise on privacy. Yeah, they probably know really well how to circumnavigate all those pesky privacy rules.

      I chuckled when I read this :

      privacy safeguards from Google

      And now our partner, the NSA will demonstrate the privacy safeguards they implemented in our latest software…

      Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.

      I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

        Googles find my device network has been live for a couple of months now, after it was delayed (supposedly waiting on Apple) for like a year. Two other companies released trackers around the end of March. There’s a few more sold in non US markets. Moto saying they’ll have a tracker for sale in the coming months while others have already left the gate would be the slow poke part. There was a huge amount of info about the find my device network rollout. Moto really should have done this and been selling it already. It’s a copy of what’s already available.

    Moto tag’s sleek silhouette was designed specifically to fit perfectly with most third-party accessories already on the market so that users can easily attach it to all their valuables.

    That is the part that is really good.

    Motorola released the Skip tag line around 2013, including a keychain battery that could charge your phone, and had Bluetooth and could use that service to locate whatever it was attached to.

    …in 2013.

        To a central server via a cellular network. So GPS and a modem. There are such trackers, I thought this was one of them. 😊
