Secom and bag maker Kyowa Corp have announced a line of backpacks that feature built-in GPS transmitters that work with Secom's locational information service called Koko Secom.

The device can be removed from backpack and attached to belt etc.
The locational information can be accessed via phone, over the Internet or mobile phone. I can see this coming in handy for parents looking to keep a lock & key on their kids, it is a little bulky but just imagine if it was something so small that no one would recognize it was there.

The Device priced at 33000 Yen & Monthly Fee of $525 Yen has an accuracy level of 5 to 10 meters. Available Nov 1st.
