AMBER Alert iPhone App Goes Multiplatform

Jonathan Zdziarski's recently announced AMBER alert iPhone app is now available on the App Store. You can expect to see it on other platforms in the near future as well:

The AMBER Alert iPhone application we told you about last month, developed by iPhone forensics expert Jonathan Zdziarski, is finally available from Apple's App Store. The free application is designed to help disseminate alerts for high-risk missing children and report sightings to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
