Late last week, Apple released a Find My iPhone app, which, despite its name, helps you find a missing iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can still log in to the MobileMe Web site in any Web browser to access Find My iPhone features, but if you'd prefer to use an app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, well, now you can. Glenn Fleishman has written a full description of how the new app works, complete with many screenshots, in TidBITS. Please see Find My iPhone App Enables Mobile Device Discovery.

Apple also updated several aspects of the me.com Web site, including a few tweaks to the Find My iPhone Web app. The overall look-and-feel of the Web app and the mobile app is the same.
