Mmmmm. It would only speak AppleGPS protocol, but that wouldn't
matter, because it would only talk to a FireWire800 interface in a G5
MacIntosh.

But at least it would cost $800.

And be hermetically sealed so you could just throw it away once the
battery dies.

And it could use that ugly-as-shit-1984-nostalgia font they use on the
iPod.
