Fresh on the heels of Elizabeth’s genius post on the TomTom yesterday, I found this little gem, and thought to myself, “Self, She really could have used one of these on her trip!”  What is it, you ask?  It’s a Bluetooth GPS receiver that literally fits on your keychain.  Wow.

My favorite part about this new product is the fact that it only runs $99.  So, if you’re the lucky type that has a SmartPhone, BlackBerry, or any other type of gadget that for some reason does not have a GPS chip, you simply grab this little device, and voila, your phone now has GPS capability.  What’s also pretty darn sweet about this little guy is the fact that on a single charge, the battery will last well into 10 hours.  Ten hours folks, is a lot of time off the charger, so don’t worry about this dying on your workday commute.

The device uses Bluetooth 2.0 and you can “connect simultaneously to up to 20 satellite channels, operate for ten hours on a single charge, sports a tracking sensitivity of 159 dBm, supports an external antenna, and purportedly plays nice with your BT-enabled device from up to ten meters away.”  Not bad friends, not bad at all.
