Bindu's Repose

A thought for the public domain

Not sure if anyone has patented this or not... If not, I hope this puts the idea out into the public domain:

Combine wireless networking and GPS adapters into a single unit. This can be done on any portable device (CompactFlash/PCMCIA for example.)

That's it.. I can't beleive I haven't been able to find this product already, but seems like a really good idea. Can be used to find networks close to your current location, to keep track of where you are when certain network events happen (like when you receive certain emails or when you notice a particular network.) Loads of folks use a wireless adapter and a GPS... why not combine them into a single unit!!! Why not combine cell phones with GPS too.. infact put all three things into a single pluggable device!
