    Hi,

    I'm an iPhone user and I have "find my iPhone" enabled where I can simply log into icloud.com and see the phone on a map and I can remotely lock the phone, send it a message and also remotely wipe it via the service.

    My friend recently lost his brand new Galaxy SIII but luckily the person who found it made contact with him and he got it back. He isn't very technical and asked me about it and I thought it was very easy to do like in Apple but when I went looking through the Google Play app store and installed find my phone there dosen't seem to be a web interface where you can login and see the phones location on the google map like Apple's iCloud service.

    Any ideas, suggestions?

    Nice one guys, I installed Cerberus on his phone and paid the €2.99 for premium and it works great! I'm not big into Android or know much about them so big thanks for the help again guys! Being able to remotely install apps via the Google Play store is pretty cool!
