Owners Smash iPhones To Get Upgrades, Says Insurance Company 406

markass530 writes "An iPhone insurance carrier says that four in six claims are suspicious, and is worse when a new model appears on the market. 'Supercover Insurance is alleging that many iPhone owners are deliberately smashing their devices and filing false claims in order to upgrade to the latest model. The gadget insurance company told Sky News Sunday that it saw a 50-percent rise in claims during the month Apple launched the latest version, the iPhone 3GS.'"

www.accutracking.com Works on just about any GPS enabled device. Virtually real time tracking (you define how often the device updates it's location to the server.) It has google maps integration and has a "covert" install option for some evices. All that for $6 a month and no minimum contracts or autorenew subscriptions. Damn I sound like a salesman but I'm not, really. I've used it to bust my teenage son ditching class and driving off with friends in locations I specifically told him not to go.
