Does any of the brethren gathered have any experience with one of these gadgets?
The propaganda looks real good and the sales people are quite convincing.
Short end of the story:
Sat communication and GPS so no internet access required
Bluetooth connection to your smartphone
send e-mail and text messages
Little tracking feature so the folks at home can follow your movements during your hunt/trip (might help loved ones locate the body or erect the memorial)
and finally after you have been gored by a rhino, mauled by a lion and the natives are just about to throw you in the pot, there is a single button you can push that sends an SOS and summons rescue to your GPS location
All of this for something like 25 cents a message (160 characters)
Frankly, I thought it might be cool to send electronic postcards from the field so to speak
So, anyone got the straight dope on this widget
