Yesterday my Samsung Galaxy Tab got stolen.
Now I regret not tracking where it is.  However I don't want my location data in a public cloud. Owncloud for the win!

Are there anyone else interested in an app that can recieve location data in a given interval- like once every hour? Not necessarily with your owncloud credentials stored on the phone ;-)

IDEA

Owncloud side:
App where you create a device ID. (write-only authentication for a device)
Continuesly recieve location data. {x-pos,y-pos,precision}
List of devices you are tracking, perhaps with a map for each.

Device application (android/iphone/laptop):
Takes an owncloud url and a device ID.
Contacts owncloud with location data at a given interval/ at certain events.

Anybody interested?
