Your phone, PDA (or even laptop, see post below) may have GPS capabilities, but who wants to carry around a receiver everywhere you go? However, what if the receiver was tiny ... and also doubled as your key ring? According to http://www.endgadget.com/ that's exactly what Proporta is proposing with its latest "world's smallest" (a claim I have to say I am not entirely convinced by) GPS receiver, the Freedom.
The ultra-compact device does in fact function as a key fob, in addition to being a SiRF Star III-equipped receiver which can interface with whatever friendly device you happen to have nearby. The Freedom will last you nine hours on a single charge, connects with up to 20 satellites, and plays nice with Bluetooth devices, making your navigational world slightly more enjoyable. The little guy is available right now for €99.95, or $129.99. Admittedly it looks like a very cool little gadget.
