I only hoped I didn't anoy anyone. That all.

Yes, in the first place it's just another GPS-Device. You can use it:
 - like a GPS-USB-Mouse
 - Bluetoot-GPS
 - Standolone GPS-Unit which loggs
But as soon as you plugin the SD Card you can log tremendous amount of 
tracklog-data to it. The reasons I'm really so fascinated about it are 
various. The price compared to any other tracking solution is really low. 
Even if I already have lets say a Garmin and would by a small Zaurus this 
would cost me more than the complete GPS with Datalogging. It comes with 
various charging possibilities. 5V from USB or 12V from Car or 220/110V From 
an outlet. It weight is only 65g. And the batteries last between 10 and 30 
hours. That more than my garmin does. But I'll still have to wait till the 
end of next week until I really know if it's a dream or if it's real.

If it's garmin I doubt. My Garmin has a special Garmin-Memory. Which is really 
expensive and which i never saw anywhere before or after.

Probably dump question; but can you give me a hint; Where is that?

As what I know: YES

I know; but as of all comercially available solutions, this is the cheapest 
one. Or see above.
Sorry :-(
