I'm trying it out, with Stick N' Finds. I'm getting a bit tangled in code though. We got one about one month ago (cause one of us lost our wallet with all the credit cards and stuff). At the moment, we're just using the Stick N' Find app, but I am getting somewhere with this iBeacon thing. Probably won't be until 2014 though you'll see anything out of me. I've got three apps to make, and I've promised people some great new plugins. If I get all of these done, I'll see ya in Vegas! If I can't get enough profit coming through with these new apps and plugins, then I won't. Simples.

I bought sticknfinds only to discover I don't have the right device; I need an upgrade. Sooner or later… Cheers! -- Smug

Have you tried Estimote? Looks pretty cool, I will def have a go at it really soon. You can download their app here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/estimote-virtual-beacon/id686915066 They made their project available Github so you can sneak a peak under the hood: on https://github.com/Estimote/iOS-SDK Farcat

Very nice in how Travel Radar uses Local Notifications to provide range-based alerts on the Lock Screen. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/travel-radar-luggage-tracking/id806273368?mt=8 Read more about it on his blog. I left in the referencing link to give Dave Verwer the proper love. http://travelradar.awwapps.com/?utm_campaign=iOS_Dev_Weekly_Issue_136&utm_medium=email&utm_source=iOS%2BDev%2BWeekly The Blog is excellent, I love his iBeacons context-based detection scenarios for the Kitchen, TV Room, Coat room. http://blog.awwapps.com/
