Supa shows off super GT1000 GPS tracking phone

Taiwanese Supa had a pretty swish gadget out on display on the floor today, a handset with GPS and GPS data logging capabilities. Featuring quad-band GSM / GPRS, a SiRFstarIII chipset, storage for up to 1440 way points, Geo Fence -- with alarms sent via SMS whenever the fence is breached -- a dedicated SOS button, and upgradable storage via T-Flash. The pic seems to show it running Windows Mobile, though we're not seeing anything in the specs. Hopefully we'll get a better look at it and get back with some more info.

Who else can see people pressing the SOS button when trying to plug the headphones in? One minute you are strolling down the street listening to some music, next thing you are getting winched to "safety" by the rescue helicopter that you just unknowingly summoned.

LOL. I'm hpong that you have to hold the button in for 3 seconds. I like the idea of the GPS fence, it's a god way to make sure your teenagers stay in a defined area. Or at least know they breached that boundry.

Nothing quite so exciting. it looks like they just stole the screen from the Mitac Mio A701 which runs WinMo5
