arstechnica.com — Jonathan Zdziarski, iPhone developer and data forensics expert, has teamed up with AMBER Alert to create an iPhone app for receiving detailed AMBER alerts via iPhone. Ars talked to Zdziarski about why he wrote the app and how it can also be used to report sightings in a faster and more reliable manner to law enforcement.

Please watch Penn & Teller's Bulls**t. The episode "stranger danger"Your kid is more likely to get struck by lightning than kidnapped. By some small chance your child is kidnapped. It is usually the loser in a divorce case.We don't need scareware. "OMG will someone think of the kids!"

bundle this application with Trapster (basically tells you where cops are setting up speed traps, etc) and you have a really useful application. If you are in the general area where a kid is reported abducted (Trapster only works with GPS on) you'd get the AMBER alert immediately and it would be very relevant and helpful.//meant to reply to spookyttws

Does anyone know if this app will work on older versions of the Iphone. I've just picked up a used Iphone from:<a class="user" href="http://www.discountcellphoneheaven.com">http://www.discountcellphoneheaven.com</a>And really want to get this app, but want to be sure of compatability before I do so. What's your views?
