Lost item finder Tile expands partnership with Comcast, as Apple’s competitor looms – TechCrunch

Bluetooth-powered lost item finder Tile is expanding on its two-year-old partnership with strategic investor Comcast to help customers find misplaced items around their homes.
Now, Comcast is adding more set-top boxes and xFi Gateways into the mix as access points.
Previously, Comcast Xfinity customers could use their X1 voice remote to see a Tile’s last-known location on the screen.
“The average person spends about 15 minutes a day looking for lost items,” said Tile CEO CJ Prober, in a statement about the expanded partnership with Comcast.
Tile claims to now locate some 6 million items daily across 195 countries worldwide, with a 90% success rate in finding lost items.
