The Personal Securer

By Peter Rojas

Definitely not the first one of these we've seen
(VitaPhone's Mobi-Click most immediately comes to mind),
but the Personal Securer is the latest version of a stripped-down GSM/GPRS cellphone that doubles as a security device.
Like most of the others, this one has a panic button which sends an emergency message to a call center and another button which can be set to call two other pre-set numbers, but they've also tossed a GPS receiver in there so that the Personal Securer can automatically relay your position via text message every half hour. You can hook this thing up to a laptop with a USB cable and use it as GPRS modem or a GPS navigation module. They're aiming at mainly at people in the security business, but with a standby time of a mere 12 hours, it'll need to be charged all the time and won't do you much good finding in someone who has been gone for more than a day.
