Anyone know if there's likely to be a GPS receiver using miniSDIO?

i-mate kjam. No reason not to use bluetooth - it's just that a friend has an SDIO receiver and I liked the fact that you only have to carry one device around.

Having just one device sounds great. Having fried 2 GPS receivers recently (doh wrong in car adapter lol) having one less device to charge up and find the right charger for sounds good.
I am currently trying to only buy items that are on USB chargers where possible.

BT77 GPS uses a usb charger kind of (it's usb at the none-device end)

Comes with a cig socket > usb adaptor that i also use to charge my phone with the other lead

Impossible to fry anything that way.

Everything small should have a mini-usb socket as its charge point now imo :<
