Transystem i-Tracker

Just in case you haven't already read a blurb about the Transystem i-Tracker at NaviGadget or EnGadget I thought I'd post a blurb of my own. I'd like to post more than a blurb but, since the yet to be released i-Tracker is little more than one of thousands of new products making their pre-release debut at the most recent CES, a blurb is all I can muster.

According to the NaviGadget post:

i-Tracker includes both GPS and GSM modules and it can transmit location information to your PC or to a pre-assigned number via GPRS (read: real time tracking).

i-Tracker supports quad bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and can remotely be controlled with a predetermined cell phone and/or an internet connection. It features a SOS button that sends out the location info immediately and can last up to 120 hours with its 1600mAh Li-Ion battery.

Its those parts about being able to remotely control the i-Tracker with a cellphone or laptop coupled with the ability to receive information in the same way that's got me thinking this little device might be able to be worked into an alarm system. Yeah, there's lots of stuff out there that'll help you track a stolen vehicle but, if the SOS button could be rigged into the ignition system so that an alert is sent to both your cellphone and laptop, you might just be able to catch the thief before he absconds with your truck!
