Sony this week announced the global launch of its “my Xperia” service for locating and/or securing lost and stolen Sony phones.
The service is similar to Apple’s Find my iPhone, including the ability to remotely sound an alert, display a message on the screen, lock the phone, locate the phone on a map, or erase all data, including a removable memory card. The service has been in testing in Nordic countries in recent months.
It will be launched globally “in the next few weeks”, while “timing and availability may vary by model, market & carrier.”
