I realize Find My iPhone isn't new to iCloud, but it is now free for those without an iPhone 4. Since I still have a 3G, that means it's how it's become available to me.

Apparently, on my way to the connecting tram, my iPhone fell out of my pocket. I only noticed that the headphones were suddenly loose; I didn't think much of it at the time, and was in a rush. Got in, sat down, and realized it wasn't anywhere. Started thinking where I had last seen it. Had I left it at home? No… probably not.

So the first thing I did when arriving at work? Go to icloud.com, open Find My iPhone, locate it, see it's moving (yay, someone found it), and send a message with an alert. A few minutes later? Someone calls saying she found it.

For all the cloud hype, services like this are actually quite useful.
