Calabash World Explorer, your GPS-based tour guide to paradise

While we've covered a lot of GPS devices in our day, we've never seen one that appears to come with a tropical flower adorning its digital visage. The Calabash World Explorer, built by a new US Virgin Islands-based technology tourism startup, is loaded up with what we assume are local maps and an audio tour guide to help guide you around St. Thomas. It'll play your music and show photos, and also includes an "encyclopedia" (which we'll assume is Virgin Islands-focused). We've got no idea what kind of hardware it's got inside the curvaceous case, nor how much renting one of these things costs, but that flower better come in the box or someone's getting an umbrella drink thrown in their face.
