he is all talk and no action. I have been waiting for him to produce his first pair since his first annoucement over a year ago.
This is very common these days. Just visit the ISC security shows and you will find dozens of booths offering gps stuff like this. Good idea, but about 4 years old now. The real innovation comes from location services that don't require the monthly subscription rates.
I agree. The services makes the difference. Check the new LBS services for this GPS shoes that ID Conex is providing. The company create very innovative Location Based Services. www.idconex.com
