Bluetooth GPS Getting Smaller

Check this out! It's a bluetooth GPS receiver (nothing new there) but its so much smaller than I've seen them before. It's roughly the size of a thumb drive, and it alleges to have 8 hours of battery life, which is very impressive indeed.



I did notice that the initial aquisition time seemed a little slower than it's older bigger brothers'. But I suppose that is to be expected. The quality of the GPS output did not seem any worse to the naked eye.

In general, I would probably prefer the bigger one, just because it really doesn't need to be this small, and the bigger ones do seem to get the initial fix faster, which is the most important fix, but I'll continue to play with it and let you know if I change my mind.
