Generative Data Intelligence

I finally found Bluetooth trackers for Android users that function better than AirTags (and are cheaper, too)

Chipolo’s popular One Point Bluetooth Tracker fob for keys and the Card Point that should last about a year. As far as range, the fob is good to about 200ft/60m if you want to activate it to play a sound.

The Card Point is a thin plastic finder that measures 3.35 x 2.11 in (85.1 x 53.6 mm) and is only 0.09 in (2.4mm thick) — about three times a credit card’s thickness. 

Setting up the Chipolo finders is easy -- squeeze the tag to get the process started!

I’ve tested the finding capability of these Chipolo finders and they are super accurate, with the ability to locate the tags when at a distance — such as hidden in a plant pot on a street or when stuffed down the back of a couch.

They’re just like AirTags but for Android users.

However, there’s only so much testing I can do, so in an effort to get better and longer test, I handed some tags to someone who had a habit of misplacing, well, pretty much everything. This gave these tags a hardcore real-world test, and I keep hearing about just how much of a timesaver — and lifesaver — they have become over the past few months. So they get a thumbs up there for usability, accuracy, and longevity.

ZDNET’s buying advice

If you’re an Android user who’s been jealous of iPhone users having AirTags, this is your chance to bring that feeling to an end. The Chipolo One Point is $28 for a single card.
