Vector One blogs about a solar-powered GPS data logger with Bluetooth, SIRFStar III chipset, 100,000 point capacity and rechargeable battery (100-hour battery life before recharging). It looks like it’s this model from Keomo. Cost in Europe: about 70 euros (roughly $100). I want one.
Update: Via SlashGeo, a better link for information.

You and me both. I can think of a few uses for this.
Of course, I’d have to either get the wife-boss to life the moratorium on toy-buying, or find a work-boss willing to indulge my gadget jones. Neither seems likely at this point. Ah well, I guess I’ll just add it to my bursting “Neat Stuff” bookmark folder.
