uhhhh...........that's a good point.......haha. I guess sometimes when something cool like this comes upon us we don't see the forest for the trees. I think maybe it should really only be relied upon as a "backup" or at the very least still provide people with key fobs and real keys and such. Also limiting this kind of technology to a lone device is very silly to me to begin with.

Also, I have a bit of an issue with the car locating feature. The car blowing the horn loud enough for you to locate it is so not cool and anyone with a keyfob alarm system to do that trick. I would have preferred the App use a sort of radar that blipped on the screen and showed you where your car was so you could see yourself getting closer and closer to it. I can't believe they didn't think of something like that since the 3GS had that compass put in.
