FollowMe 1.2 Release Delay :(

As happens with other software I write in my free time I've not been able to push FollowMe 1.2 out of the door quickly as I'd like since I've been on holiday and now have a bad head cold (hopefully not the s-flu!) but the software is still on the cards as the next immediate release.

Thanks for your patience.

FollowMe 1.2 (the new name for LocateMe)

Since its release in early 2008 LocateMe 1.1 has been a great program, but is slipping behind the times compared to now many other similar modern hardware tracking solutions.

LocateMe has also unintentionally shared the same name as other similar popular software for iphone and pocket pc (which admittedly has probably helped in its success), so now its name is changing, it's shortly to be called FollowMe.

I'll be releasing a new build with improved phone compatibility within the next few days, and, new to FollowMe 1.2 is the ability to track multiple targets.

The roadmap for FollowMe 2.0 includes a beaconing feature and an innovative (and hush hush) feature that I'll be divulging on the day of release.

Keep an eye on this blog :)
