Apple's New, iCloud-Powered Find My iPhone Service Goes Live

At the beginning of the week, Apple launched its iCloud Web interface for developers (which can be accessed at http://icloud.com). Now, the company has launched its new, iCloud-powered Find My iPhone and Find My Mac services, which can also be accessed by developers from iCloud's Web interface.
As explained by 9to5Mac, the Find My iPhone iCloud feature is very much like the MobileMe service. Indeed, the only major change is the new user interface. Find My Mac also went live alongside Find My iPhone, and the two services are very similar. Find My Mac can be enabled in System Preferences, and uses Wi-Fi router data to locate the linked Macintosh computer.
Currently, the features can be accessed by developers only. However, once iCloud launches (in fall), we'll all be able to take advantage of Apple's improved Find My iPhone service, and Find My Mac. Let us know your thoughts on both services in the comments.
