Haicom’s HI-505SD Bluetooth-enabled GPS SDIO receiver
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get GPS (and Bluetooth) onto your PDA, handset, or other SD-slotted handheld, there’s not exactly a smorgasbord of offerings out there to choose from if you’re not willing to sacrifice your flash-based storage, but Haicom’s latest takes care of all those dilemmas in one fell swoop. The HI-505SD plugs directly into your device’s SD slot and utilizes its battery in order to power up the SiRF Star III GPS receiver and Bluetooth antenna, but rather than whining about your sudden loss of storage, this SDIO adapter offers up a miniSD slot to cram a few extra gigabytes back into your machine. Interestingly, Haicom also sells a bevy of attachment cables in order to use this device directly from a power source, but we envision this slightly unsightly device spending most of its time docked in your Treo. Unfortunately, there’s an absence of details regarding price and future availability, but we’re sure these will be available for import sooner rather than later.
