Pebblebee has launched new versions of its Clip and Card trackers, featuring brighter LEDs, louder alarms, slimmer design, and more color options. The Clip 5 enhances safety with a louder buzzer, brighter LEDs, and an emergency alert system, while the Card 5 is now ultra-thin, wireless-charged, and offers up to 18 months of battery life, making it a sleek, practical option for wallets. Both trackers are compatible with Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find Hub networks and are available for $34.99.
Chipolo has introduced new Trackers, Loop and Card, compatible with Apple Find My, featuring colorful designs, rechargeable batteries, and enhanced range, with the Loop designed for easy attachment and the Card for discreet wallet use, both priced at $39.
Chipolo has launched new Loop and Card trackers that use rechargeable batteries, support Android's Find Hub network, and are made from recycled plastic, offering improved convenience and sustainability over previous models.
Google's Find My Device network will now automatically activate on supported trackers during the initial setup phase, even if the network hasn't been previously activated on your account. This ensures that new trackers, like those from Chipolo, can be integrated and used immediately, alleviating concerns for users still waiting for the network rollout.
Chipolo has launched its One Point and Card Point trackers compatible with Android's new Find My Device network. The setup process is straightforward using Fast Pair, although some users may experience delays. Once set up, the trackers can be used to locate items, play sounds, and share tracking with others. The One Point has a replaceable battery, while the Card Point offers a discount for replacement after two years. Both devices come with a 2-year warranty and are available for pre-order starting at $28.
Chipolo's One Point and Card Point trackers for Android's Find My Device network are shipping for pre-orders starting today, May 27. Orders made before this week will ship starting June 10, while new orders will ship in July. The company has updated its website to reflect these shipping schedules.
The first Android Find My Device trackers from Chipolo and Pebblebee are starting to ship to customers, following a delay due to waiting for Apple to implement unwanted tracker alerts in iOS. Pebblebee has begun shipping some orders early, with more expected to follow by May 27, while Chipolo will start shipping pre-orders on the same date but most deliveries will extend into June.
Pebblebee's "for Android" trackers, compatible with the Find My Device network on Android, will start shipping on May 27, following the network's recent rollout. Pre-orders for the Tag, Card, and Clip models are still available, with prices starting at $29.99. The trackers will be available on the Google Store and other retailers later this year, and they can be used with both Android and Apple's finder networks.
Google's Find My Device network has launched, and the first AirTag-style trackers for Android phones have been released by Chipolo and Pebblebee. These Bluetooth trackers work with Android's Find My Device app and can help locate lost valuables by emitting sounds and flashing LED lights. The trackers use Bluetooth proximity data from millions of Android devices to pinpoint the item's location on a map. Chipolo and Pebblebee offer various tracker options, and more devices, such as headphones and smart tags, will soon be supported by the network. Tile, a pioneer in smartphone-based trackers, currently does not have plans to make trackers for Google's Find My Device network.
Pebblebee has quietly raised the price of its Tag and Card trackers designed for the Android Find My Device network from $29.99 to $34.99, just ahead of the network's launch. The Clip tracker remains at $29.99. Customers who pre-ordered Tag and Card will not be affected by the price change. In comparison, Chipolo, another brand offering a tracker compatible with Google’s network, sells its versions for $28 and $35 respectively. Pebblebee's trackers are set to start shipping in late May.
Google's Find My Device network for Android, which allows phones to track offline objects, will support AirTag-like trackers from Pebblebee and Chipolo starting in May 2024. Pebblebee's Tag, Card, and Clip units will ship in late May, with pre-orders available now, while Chipolo's One Point and One Card will start shipping on May 27. The delayed release is attributed to Apple's implementation of tracking protections into iOS, which is set to arrive in iOS 17.5.
The Google Store has expanded its offerings to include Fitbit accessories such as charging cables, bands, and other third-party accessories, available in the US, Canada, and Asian-Pacific markets. This move signals Google's continued integration of Fitbit into its ecosystem and could potentially lead to fitbit.com discontinuing its own storefront. The addition of Fitbit accessories on the Google Store provides more options for consumers and may be eligible for Google One's 10% offer or promo credit.
