GPS, tinier than ever
GPS on a keyring makes it even more compelling to complement an existing phone with GPS.
Unless Audi keys are huge, this is a pretty small Bluetooth GPS module. By bringing it with you in the key ring you won't forget it.
'aimed at the majority of smartphone and PDA users'
I think they are missing the point, except for car navigation. For many other location services a normal phone with Bluetooth and Java (read: any phone purchased the last 2-3 years) will suffice.
£70 ($140) is not a nice price though, and 10 hours battery life is a bit too little. In comparison: Nokia LD-3W lasts for 15 hours active, 3-4 days inactive, and it costs less than this.
