<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Adiant Solutions)GPS devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and packed with features that at the very least create a sense of being, well, findable. One newcomer to the scene, the Laipac S-911 from Adiant Solutions, may be among the featuriest of them all.Adiant is marketing the device to those who'd like to watch over children with autism or monitor elderly loved ones with dementia. But let's face it, this bracelet can do much more. Have teenagers you'd like to set virtual fences around Aid workers to reach more easily in disaster zones Registered sex offenders to keep outside of prohibited zonesLook no further. The Laipac S-911 features a GSM cell phone with phone book and SOS button' AGPS for indoor tracking' G-sensing to alert when the wearer falls' and geo-fencing to alert when the wearer leaves--or enters--a given zone. The device even comes with a tamper detector in case said bracelet wearer does not want to, well, wear it.&quot;If we can help one person avoid an unnecessary fate, we will have succeeded, but I feel we will help many, many people with this solution,&quot; Adiant founder and CEO Jim Jeselun said in a press release. Automatic answering is another interesting feature. If the wearer does not pick up after three rings, the call automatically goes through and can be heard over a speaker. The idea here is to be able to talk to someone who has, say, fallen and cannot answer. Of course, if you're a parent who thinks your teenager might be engaging in an R-rated moment, forcing your voice through this thing should work quite nicely as well.Adiant spokesperson Peter Nilsson says the bracelet, which is manufactured in Canada, is available online for $495 plus a $59.95 monthly service fee that includes unlimited tracking and texting and 120 minutes of voice-to-voice. He says the bracelet has been available for a few months, but that Adiant is only now announcing its release as it has had to work out a few kinks.  For instance, because of the sheer size and bulk of the bracelet, the company plans to release a keychain-size version in 60 to 90 days to accommodate children and slim-wristed adults.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Motorolaa4a4s Atrix 4G was one of our favorite devices from the Consumer Electronics Show, primarily because it had the cool ability to turn into  a full-fledged ultraportable laptop when plugged into its Laptop Dock.  So ita4a4s impressive just how quickly AT&amp;038'T has managed to quash my  excitement for the device with the announcement of its crazy Laptop Dock  pricing.If  you want the Atrix 4Ga4a4s Laptop Dock, you can either pay $499.99 to buy  it bundled with the phone, or the same $499.99 to get the dock  separately.Yes,  you read that right &amp;8212' the dock will cost the same as an iPad, even  though it relies mostly on the Atrixa4a4s hardware to function (ita4a4s  basically just a keyboard and screen shell that gets powered up by the  phone). While the dock does feature a battery of its own, thata4a4s still  little reason to price it the same as a full-fledged computer.AT&amp;038'T  is also forcing users to sign up for its tethering plan at $20 a month, if they want to get the Atrix bundled with the Laptop Dock. I suppose it makes sense since the dock relies on the Atrixa4a4s network connection,  but it still seems ridiculous for AT&amp;038'T to demand even more money  when the dock itself is overpriced.The Atrix 4G will retail $199.99 with a two-year contract on its own, and AT&amp;038'T says that preorders will begin on February 13. The phone, along  with its accessories, will be available on a4AMarch 6 or earlier.a4The dock pricing is a shame, because Motorola could have really had a hit  on its hands if it were priced more competitively. I was personally  expecting it to be around $200 or $300, which would make it a viable  option for students and other users who want a tiny ultraportable or netbook.Check out VentureBeat&amp;'s Dean Takahashi&amp;'s hands on with the Atrix at CES below:Next Story: Virtual world Habbo hits more than 200M registered users Previous Story: Verizon to combat (iPhone) data hogs by throttling mobile dataPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 4G, Atrix 4G, docks, netbooks, smartphones, ultraportablesCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, motorola          Tags: 4G, Atrix 4G, docks, netbooks, smartphones, ultraportablesCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, motorolaDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
