I contacted the US distributor for GlobalStat. He told me the final product (which is still being tested) will not be available in the US for another 45-60 days, and couldn't give me a price yet...

This is the email i received this morning. I actually received more or less the same info from 2 people there

Thanks for your interest in our product, however the SD-501 is too new and
not in final production yet.
.
We are scheduled to receive our engineering samples in August
and there after it may take 4-6 weeks before we are ready to offer it in our
standard product line.
.
Keep checking out web-site for the new product announcement
for the SDIO GPS Receiver.
.
Best regards,
