Personal Alarm for your Cellphone
Leo complains again he doesn’t get enough letters.  But he does have one from Toyota Boy aka Jayzee, who writes about the Nio from bluenio.com, a personal alarm for your cellphone.  When it gets out of range of the bluetooth Nio, it will sound an alarm.  It serves the same function as Dick’s Zomm from Episode 1053.

Nio - another cellphone "leash"
