Find Lost and Stolen iPhone or iPod Touch with FindMyi

Like a LoJack for the iPhone, this application is available in Cydia and Installer and can provide GPS Tracking for lost phones, and stolen families. It can also be used to track the whereabouts of family members who carry an iPhone. It Runs in background unlike other App store applications such as Private-I.

Signing up and basic tracking is free. However, more accurate tracking will cost you $2/Month, for a short term, 3 day tracking, is $10. The pricing schema seems odd to me! Here is a Link for more information and Screen shots:
