A Device That Tracks Your Luggage
Losing your luggage is a horrible, stressful experience — just ask any of the 26 million travelers whose belongings got misplaced by careless airlines last year. Los Angeles company Globaltrac is hoping to cut down on the number of travel-induced headaches with a tiny little GSM-powered device called the Trackdot, which you can throw into your checked baggage. "So if you're flying to Paris, and your luggage flies to London, you'll get a message on your phone saying where your bag is," says Paul Sloan at CNET. "Still a pain, of course, but at least you'll know." $49.99 starting in March.
