Apple has realeased the Find My iPhone App, just in time for the release of the new iPhone 4. This app allows you to be able to track a lost iPhone, iPod, or iPad from another iPhone or iPad.  All you need to do is to log in to the Find My iPhone application with your MobileMe user name and password to find your lost gadget.

After you log in, the application will begin finding the lost iPhone, iPod, or iPad.  Each device  that is connected to the account will show up and begin to be tracked, appearing on a Google Map once it is found.

Once the device is shown on the Google Map, the application allows you to display a message or play a sound if you think someone has stolen your device. You can also activate a Remote Lock to lock your device so it cannot be used or a Remote Wipe to delete all personal information from the device.  The Find My iPhone app requires iOS version 3.1.3 or later and a MobileMe subscription, which is currently $99 a year.
