OK, I don't get it. This whole thing seems to be based entirely on the supposition that the N8xx is stolen as opposed to just being lost (and eventually found) - a far more likely scenario, non? I'm not sure why you wouldn't just want to replace the start-up splash screen with your name and contact (email) info and a short message asking for the 'return of the unit if this screen appears since you would remove it it you'd sold or given it away'. Or have the screen splash, after, say, 40 minutes automatically after start-up to avoid a thief first playing with the N8xx a bit before trying to pawn it off so someone who would see it would at least *know* it is either missing/stolen? I mean, I don't see why you can think a thief is going to spend much time with this unit. S/He might as well get rid of it quickly as possible since anyone who actually *knows* anything about these Nokia units will know that the tablet is missing the recharger and the usb cord. And if the thief tries to pawn it off to some idiot who *doesn't* know what the hell s/he's getting, the thief would have to have as full a battery as possible to razzle-dazzle a potential buyer. At that point, it really is up to the person in possession of the unit whether to go through the process to get it back to you but at least that person *knows* the unit has been lost/stolen as opposed to your method which seems to endlessly track the unit with no way to either inform the new 'owner' or give the new 'owner' a chance to get the unit back to you. Alternatively, if I was so concerned about theft, I'd just etch an email address on the back plastic and if it does go missing, at least you can post signs up or tell local internet forums to look out for it. I dunno. I've worked in tourism in the past and I've been in a job position where a lot of incredibly interesting things that are genuinely lost come across my desk and the first thing I try to do before I give it to the Lost & Found Department is to find an obvious method the owner has left for me to contact them and, um, your method is not obvious. In fact, in iTunes, my iPod is actually named a specific email address and the contact information on it is also linked to an email address (if I'm traveling in Europe, I can't reasonably expect someone to phone me back in North America just to tell me they've found my iPod and, well, I'd still be traveling in Europe, anyway. Email is a much quicker, much freer method of contact). However, you give an N8xx with this thing on the unit to your girlfriend/boyfriend and I guess you can become a stalker? If you can track people with those iPod+Nike units, why not the Nokia N8xx's?
