Like a set of keys, it is so easy to misplace a mobile phone. Just leave it on a table not thinking about it and the next thing you know, you can’t recall where you set it down. Zomm, an Oklahoma based consumer electronics outfit has developed a wireless device that it hopes will alleviate some of the frustrations created by this scenario.

The gadget, known as the Zomm wireless leash remains in contact with your bluetooth enabled mobile phone through a wireless bluetooth connection. The premise behind this idea is that you always keep the small keyfob like device in your possession and the moment you walk “out of range” of your mobile phone, an alarm will sound advising you of this situation.

The wireless leash does have a couple of other features in addition to keeping tabs of your cell phone. First, it can act as a panic button which when triggered will call emergency services through your mobile phone. Secondly, the unit also acts as a duplex speakerphone and can alert you of incoming calls.

The Zomm runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery which offers about 3 days of use on a single charge. Expect to see the wireless leash this summer when it will retail for about $80.
