Pocketnow Reviews the Bluetooth Slipper Kit - Fuzzy Bunnies Not Included
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "ARTICLE" @ 06:00 PM
"My only hangup with GPS units in the past was the fact that I had to be either wired to the GPS itself, or attach a large sled to the unit (when using a handheld). And I certainly didn't want to dish out the cash for a stand-alone unit. Haicom generously offered to send us one of their Bluetooth Slipper (and the included GPS Receiver)."
"The Bluetooth Slipper kit comes with a plethora of options in the box. With this kit, you can either run it in Bluetooth mode (with the slipper), Mouse mode (to your laptop with the included PS/2 connector), or CF mode (the included GPS receiver). The battery life on this unit is also quite amazing - reports of anywhere from 8-14 hours on a single charge."
In addition to being cool in its own right, the Bluetooth Slipper is welcome news for anyone with an existing Haicom CF GPS card. Kudos to Haicom for not forcing existing users to upgrade to a new model!
And NO, you will not need "rabbit ears" to get good reception. :mrgreen:
