A German company called Navilock has a unique wireless mouse in Europe. The mouse is called the Navilock BT-451 and acts as a wireless Bluetooth mouse with the added benefit of having an internal GPS receiver as well.
This seems like a pretty unlikely combo to me to have a GPS receiver inside a mouse, but I guess it makes some sense in that if you are traveling with a notebook or UMPC you will probably need a mouse anyway.
Inside the Navilock BT-451 is a u-blox SuperSense GPS chip that is designed to give outdoor functionality as well as accurate positional tracking indoors as well. The BT-451 is available across Europe at retail outlets currently for 79 Euro or about $108.
