Find My iPhone, to many people, is the ultimate integration between the iPhone and MobileMe. With your iPhone connected to your MobileMe account you can quickly find your lost, or stolen, iPhone and return to your landscape texting ways.
Unfortunately, some families have multiple iPhones and only one MobileMe account. If your wife, husband, or any family member or close friend, has an iPhone and a penchant for losing it, there is a way to add Find My iPhone to their device without dumping your entire email, contact and calendars on their iPhone.
1. Navigate on the iPhone in question to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
2. Tap on Fetch New Data. Turn on Push. You'll need this to communicate with MobileMe in a timely fashion.
3. Return Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap on Add Account... Tap the MobileMe option
4. Add your super-secret information. Note: Once you place your MobileMe account on another iPhone or iPod touch, that person has access to your email and contact information.
5. Turn off the other MobileMe options. Your kid probably doesn't care that you have a meeting at 11:30 to discuss the latest proposal. Turn on Find My iPhone.
6. Fire up your favorite browser and head to Me.com. Click on the Settings tab and then on the Find My iPhone option. After about 15 minutes, the iPhone will show up with its location.
UPDATE: On the Find My iPhone page, each phone will get its own map. There is no need to "choose" which iPhone is being displayed. Just scroll down to see the rest of your activated iPhones.
I personally have two iPhones set up on my one MobileMe account with no problem. Have fun stalking finding your family's iPhones.
