Wheels of Zeus

A 'Web service' you can use

Former Apple wiz Steve Wozniak thinks people would pay to be able to quickly locate those things they frequently misplace or otherwise lose track of. His Wheels of Zeus start-up hopes to combine the Global Positioning System (GPS) with a low-power, long-range wireless protocol that operates at about 1,200 baud. The company expects the combination GPS monitor and wireless radio to sell for less than $100. It is estimated that this can cover a range of 1 or 2 miles, but Wozniak believes it can be extended by using the Internet - by connecting one radio to another in a global peer-to-peer network you'd be able to search within a couple of miles of every attached wireless device.
