Treasure Tag app now in store.

WMpoweruser just posted an article about the treasure tag.

Sense it is now in store, that only means its pretty close for announcement as an accessory.

What I cant understand, how the hell does it work? obviously Bluetooth alone isn't enough. or maybe as soon as you loose the Bluetooth connection, the app saves your location for future reference. that's the best guess I can make. what do you think guys?

It uses bluetooth, at least thats what it says in the description. I think when you are close to the tag, it saves the position. It gives you alert when you are leaving it behind; the range of bluetooth is ten meters/30 feet. And as long as someone don't move it, the position will be the same and the app can measure the distance. Just like you've said.
