Hasta La Gadget!

IDC Design Corp. has announced a tiny GPS system that can be mounted on a pair of keys, as an electronic breadcrumb trail back to a particular location.

Think of it as a “car finder,” or a “hotel finder,” rather than a “key finder” – although the small device, known as the “ECCO,” attaches to a set of car keys in much the same way. The company is marketing the gadget as an aid for travelers, to electronically mark the location of a hotel or car in a large parking lot, a fishing hole, or other location. The ECCO was launched at the CES show last week, where it was a finalist for one of the the show’s Innovation Awards.
