Nokia Launches NFC/Bluetooth-Powered Treasure Tags

The Nokia Treasure Tag is a small Bluetooth Low Energy/NFC-enabled accessory that will keep you from losing your valuables. It measures 30mm x 30mm x 10mm and weighs 13g.

To use it, you must pair the Tag to your smartphone via NFC or Bluetooth. If you leave the house or office without one or the other, the two will emit a loud tone to alert you on this. The accompanying Nokia Treasure Tag app can be downloaded from the Windows Phone Store right from your Lumia device. Should you miss the alert for some reason, the app will help you to locate the lost item on a map, powered by HERE Maps. You can connect your phone to up to four Tags.

The Treasure Tag app allows you to pin live tiles to the homescreen that are color-coded to match the Tag. Alternatively, you can use a photo of the item the Tag is attached to. Those tiles will give you updates on when the Treasure Tag was last detected and allow you to silence alarms. The Tags are powered by a coin cell battery (CR-2032), which has enough juice to last for 6 months. Each Tag costs $30 when they go on sale globally in April 2014. The color options will be Cyan, Yellow, White and Black. You’ll need Bluetooth LE-enabled Lumia smartphones with the Nokia Black update installed. Third-party apps for iOS and Android will be available too.
