RoamEO for Pets
8, Sep 2006
The RoamEO Location System is designed for pet owners to quickly and accurately locate their pets by using state-of-the art GPS technology. RoamEO displays the concise, easy to read information on a color LCD screen that allows you to locate your pet and shows you his current movements.
Each RoamEO system consists of a portable, handheld device that displays information received from the GPS-enabled collar on your dog. The handheld device uses a color LCD to show the location, direction and velocity of your pet. RoamEO is designed to update readings every few seconds, giving you a continuous stream of real-time information.
RoamEO uses an ordinary collar that is equipped with GPS technology. Just snap the collar on your dog, turn it on, and RoamEO is operational. The RoamEO handheld unit can track up to three dogs simultaneously. A collar is required for each dog.
RoamEO has been designed so that you can set up a GPS Fence. RoamEO uses GPS coordinates that you establish by walking the perimeter of your desired fence, and commits them to memory. If your pet exits this perimeter, an audible alarm will sound. For example, you may wish to establish your property line as the perimeter for your pet. After setting up your fence, this information would be stored in your system and if your dog wanders off your property, the alarm will sound. Because this boundary is electronic, you can erase and create new ones as often as you like, giving you the flexibility for any situation or condition.
RoamEO uses rechargeable batteries in both the handheld unit and the collar, so there is no need to purchase batteries for your system. The AC adapters are provided.
The price of a complete RoamEO kit is $459.00 (includes only one collar), adiditional collars are available for $149 each.
– If you want to be able to track your pet better go and get him a RoamEO…

PetsMobility PetsCell
4, Sep 2006
The PetsCell is the first voice enabled waterproof GPS cell phone optimized for animals. Measuring approximately 5 cms wide, 2.5 cms thick and 9.4 cms long, the PetsCell sets the standard for GPS tracking devices for pets. Unlike any other ‘Rush to Market’ products currently available. The PetsCell utilizes the new CDMA / GPS tracking technology, rather than the current GSM technology. This technology is so new, PetsMobility is the first company to be provisioned by network providers to use this technology in the (LBS) pet industry.
What does that mean for you? Well, GSM is a cheap and economical tracking device for GPS systems, however in the tracking ability of the device, it can be out of range any where from 300 ft to a mile or more. It’s called ‘Drift’ and really doesn’t help you locate anything smaller than a 747. PetsMobility’s new CDMA technology and tracking algorithms diminish the GPS Drift and sets the standard of the most accurate GPS tracking in the industry today.
Incorporating this industry leading GPS technology with the 2-way communication ability, a built in temperature sensor and being completely waterproof, makes the PetsCell the leader in GPS positioning systems for pets.
The PetsCell has the ability to program a Geo-fence around a given area, that will notify you if your pet has left that specific area. If your pet is lost, there are three ‘call owner’ buttons on the unit that can be pre-programed to contact you directly. Anyone finding your Pet can simply call you directly and let you know your dogs whereabouts. The PetsCell is the only waterproof GPS device to offer that service in the world.
The PetsCell will be available latter this year.

Mini Pet Cactus
1, Sep 2006
Virtual pets are fun, but sometimes they can be a virtual pain in the virtual backside. You have to virtually feed them and virtually play with them. And yes, they virtually love you, but it’s just not the same as real love. But one has to admit, most virtual pets are easy to carry around, whereas most real pets either won’t fit in your pocket (like a dog) or wouldn’t survive in your pocket (like a trout). We have the solution: the Mini Pet Cactus.
The Mini Pet Cactus will love you unconditionally. All you have to do it is water it once a month for about a minute (instructions on packaging). Each cactus comes with a strap to attach to your jacket, cell phone, etc., so you can take it with you everywhere. Nothing says fun like talking to your cactus in a public place – until security asks you to leave, that is. Want to display your new pet at home or in the office? Try the Mini Pet Cactus Stand (sold separately). It has an adhesive back to attach to a wall, your monitor, your forehead, etc. The Mini Pet Cactus is waiting to be adopted… by you!
The price of the Mini Pet Cactus is $8.99
