Really? A full on GPS with geomagnetic and tilt sensors overpriced at

It may not be overpriced with respect to what it actually costs to
produce, but based on comments on this list and elsewhere over the last
few months, it seems overpriced with respect to the market- and that's
what really matters. Most people just don't see it as all that useful an
accessory, and $400 is above the pain threshold for toys.
