New to the Skyhook Wireless family is Kijiten and their application "Where is My Android", WMA basically is an application that tracks your lost or stolen Android handset by using GPS coupled with Google Maps. Now here are the most interesting features in my eyes, with WMA, you can make the phone automatically take photos or record sounds of the surrounding environment, this is done via Kijiten website. With Skyhooks Wireless WPS Hybrid location system now apart of this application users can expect first class performance if an when their Android handset gets lost or stolen, how is that for very convenient and especially cool?

"I'm very enthusiastic to announce our partnership with Skyhook Wireless," said Daniel Cordier, CEO at Kijiten. "WIMA now using Skyhook XPS technology allows our customers to enjoy the best geolocation system on the mobile phone market. Even if it's outside or indoors, you can track with a very high accuracy and give instructions to your phone from the internet."

"WIMA is another example of an Android app that requires better positioning than that offered by the native Android platform," said Kate Imbach, director of marketing and developer programs at Skyhook Wireless. "It is extremely important for an asset recovery app to provide accurate and fast location, as users rely on them for everyday business and personal use."

Seriously guys, if you own an Android device you need to pick this application up from the Android Market, you never know what might happen to your precious little green bot one of these days. To me this is one of the best and most useful Android applications out there, and with Skyhook at the helm of the GPS tech, it's even better now.
