Your cell phone can be used as GPS.
Not exactly gps but via the cell's it is possible to pin point a cell phones location. 9_9

although the cell grid isnt that dense ... and that data is anyway collected by telephone companies. the other fine thing about mobile phones is that they emit radiation with wavelngth < 1m, so your position can be determined really accurate.

GPS receivers are still a bit too big to implant them, but with other GPS like systems, maybe it's gonna be possible :/

how about the phone in your hand..

you hold your hand to you head and talk..

[stefanhendriks]

rofl, i dont feel like walking around like an idiot with my hand against my ear... er, and where will the sound by the person at the other side come from? Do i need speakers integrated in my hand?

[TruB]

Well, Idunno, here in Brazil a respected IT magazine published an article about some test done w/ that... Near their test center, there is a motel... One guy's phone showed he was inside the motel, while he (and, consequently, his cell phone) was inside the test center's, in another room

Imagine if that guy's wife saw his location by his cell... He would have a lot of explaining to do...

AS a note.. whats preventing someone from making a 'fake tag', that would be more lethal that someone stealing a credit card, think about it, if a credit card is stolen for whatever reason, they still have to do shit like forge signatures, (Here in the UK, we use our Personal ID codes too which arn't exactly easy to guess), your saying.. if you have one of these implants.. you just show them your arm, and you're automatically billed?

As i say, if someone found a way to duplicate one of these, then all hell would break loose.
