I had the opportunity to speak with iHound Software’s VP of Business Development (and one of the firm’s founders) about their iHound for iPhone app that can help you recover a lost or stolen iPhone. The app normally costs $3.99 but is currently on sale in the iTunes App Store for $2.99. Purchasing the app includes 6 months of tracking service via their website. The annual cost for the service is $9.99.
Gary announced on the podcast that they just started providing code to enable other applications to use their service. This means, for example, that if a game is iHound enabled, if someone uses that app on your iPhone, it will broadcast its current position.

I would just like to know how to CANCEL this service once you install it onto your IPhone. I’m not sure exactly how they could recover a stolen IPhone when it only tracks it up to 2000 meters. We put my husbands phone in our backyard and it pin pointed it to be in the Lowes parking lot that is about a mile from our house. Not sure how THAT will help us.
