      Similar to the Apple AirTags, but uses the Android Find My Device network instead of Apple Find My.

      Basically all Android devices will be able to scan and report trackers location when they stumble upon it back to its owner.

    Anyone else thinking about cancelling? My question is how long until it gets shipped, and by then, will other companies come out with better trackers?

      My guess is that Google is probably dealing with some privacy concerns (who wouldn’t be with Google lol) and the Canadian govt is delaying them before they get all the concerns addressed. So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won’t work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

        Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

        Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.
