BrainStream Followup: SkyScout pricing etc

[bkdelong]

Since last night's post, [MovableType | LiveJournal], I did some poking around and the Celestron Sky Scout is currently available on Amazon for $400. They got it up fast - apparently it was added January 4th.

Additional details include:

• It's 7.4 x 2.5 x 4.0 inches (W X H X D)
• Weighs 16oz
• Accepts SD cards
• Box includes USB cable, and one pair of earbud-style headphones
• Will last for 10hrs on batteries.

Nifty. I started tracking the Sales Rank on TicTap to see how well it does.

Man, that is SERIOUSLY tempting... but I can't afford $400 at the moment.

Every High School Science Dept should buy at least one.

Here, here - or parents should fundraise to get one. Though how often will kids be at school at night :(

Dude. Combine that with an electronic compass and sextant, digital maps, and... oh, wait, we already have GPS.
