Introducing the Freedom Keychain GPS SiRF III Receiver

Filed in archive New Products/Services , PDAs , Peripherals , Smartphones by Rico Mossesgeld on September 20, 2007

I agree with All About Symbian: the Freedom Keychain gps receiver is a great idea. This tiny Bluetooth-powered gadget pairs up to your laptop, smartphone, or PDA, and gives it GPS-capability. So long as it's within a few feet, meaning you can keep it in your pocket (perhaps with some keys?) or bag, and actually pretend that your gadget has some GPS built-in. Here are the official features:

Currently the world's most compact and neatest GPS receiver available

Ideal for connecting to your notebook, PDA or Mobile Phone by state of the art Bluetooth technology

SiRF Star III works from your pocket, hand bag or briefcase

Works with all the popular mapping software currently available

Can be charged in the car or at home - USB charger cable and Car charger cable provided

Capable of connecting simultaneously to up to up to 20 satellite channels

Working time of up to 9hrs

Up to 10 meter range

Size: 49 x 32 x 19 mm. (2 x 1.25 x 0.75 ins )

Weight: 30gms (1.06 ozs)

The bundled car charger is a welcome addition. It's just too bad if your smartphone or PDA dies quickly if you leave its Bluetooth on, or if you'll have a hard time setting up the Freedom Keychain with your gadget (it comes with no software). Price is at least $129.95.
