a bluetooth gps receiver Paris Hilton would use

Aug 22, 2006 bluetooth, gps navigation

Called the BTS8i, these bluetooth GPS receivers are definetely stylin’. Now we are not exactly sure if these are faceplates that you’d change according to your mood or if they come fixed on your device but if I was driving a VW Beetle I’d want one of these in my car.

The BTS8i is manufactured by Overfly from China and they made sure their product wasn’t just a pretty face. They put in a solid SiRFstarIII chipset which can support upto 20 channels and a battery that can last you 13 hours with continuous use.

No word on pricing but you can get a quote if you plan to buy 200 of these units.
