This story is on a pretty interesting App for the iPhone that may save you from leaving it somewhere.




1. I chose this story mainly because it was funny but also because everyone has an iPhone these days. This App could come in pretty handy for those out partying (or the plain forgetful) and don't want to risk forgetting their phone somewhere. Just turn on the App and it sets off an alarm for a set distance away from your phone you get, reminding you that you left it behind.




2. Novelty is the main news value. Its just a funny/cool App. Proximity is also a news value in the story because everyone has an iPhone or some smart phone now. If your phone can dowload this App, then it could affect your life (or just your night life) for the better!




3. The unanswered questions are addressed in the story as ways to develope the App.




4. The lead is pretty good. Its funny and light-hearted, like the story, and sums up what it will be talking about.
