GPS For Dads and Grads at Forbes.com

GPS

My article on great GPS gifts for this summer ran today at Forbes.com.

I like GPS receivers, but ultimately, I think they’re probably an intermediate technology. With navigation capabilities coming to cell phones and other devices (even cameras and camcorders), it seems like the standalone GPS receiver is probably not going to be viable entity for much longer. They’ll most likely suffer a fate similar to that of the Palm Pilot.
