I saw a review on YouTube for the

Find My iPhone App

. This can also be used for the iPad. I like the idea for that kind of app in case my iPad gets stolen. But I don't want to pay $99/year for the Mobile me service. Are there any other apps and services that do the same type of thing but without the cost?

Find my iphone/ipad is free, you don't need to pay for the full mobileme service.

From link:

Find My iPhone is now free for anyone with an iPhone 4, iPad, or 4th generation iPod touch (iOS 4.2 required).* Just sign in with your Apple ID on your qualifying device and turn on Find My iPhone to enable your device to be located. Then use the same account to enable Find My iPhone on your other iOS 4.2 devices including iPhone 3G, 3GS, or iPod touch (2nd generation or later).
