Satellite connectivity for any smartphone

Well, this is neat! Bullit, a company known for producing rugged smartphones for the outdoors, has borrowed the Motorola brand to make the Defy Satellite Link. It adds satellite communication to any smartphone, so even if you’re out of cellular bounds, you can contact someone for help or let them know you’re okay. You can use it to send and receive texts. It only costs $100, which is affordable enough to keep it stashed away in your go-bag.
