Reviews & Opinions

"Insignia, Best Buy's house brand, has just listed an incredibly invasive and humiliating new GPS tracker on its site, and rather than promoting it as just that, the marketing brains have decided it best to aim this at paranoid mums and dads who've done such a poor job raising their offspring that they can't even trust 'em to trek out on their own."—Engadget.comhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/insignias-little-buddy-child-tracker-encourages-kids-to-run-awa/
