Locate RFID tag using iPhone

Question

Hi all,

I am looking into building an app (on my laptop to start) that would be able to locate the signal emitted by an RFID tag (non passive). Say I attach this to my key ring, what would be required of the application to triangulate the location of the RFID tag in a 10m range. Would this even be possible using this technology? I see some older posts here so wondering if there have been any tech breakthroughs in this area since then?

As jasoncrawford commented, to do this with iPhone you need to make your own hardware accessory first.

As for triangulating RFID tags, this might help: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1198555.1198717
