As a compelling product for full-fledged geo-tagged field photography and asset management, I think it needs at least a 3-axis digital compass, a 4-6Mp camera with very good auto-exposure and auto-focus outdoors, and a reasonable price. A good laser rangefinder should at least be an add-on. All of this sounds like the IKE, which lacks only the Yumas 'real' operating system (why not WinXP Pro or Linux? why Vista?!)
