Garmin has announced a new action video camera to compete with GoPro and similar products called the "VIRB".  Their top of the line model has a GPS receiver plus Wi-Fi.  It will be interesting to see how the video quality compares.

A few things where I see them having a bit of an edge if they can pull it off. Being able to tie into ANT+ devices such as heart rate, alt, and speed will be a big hit for the adrenaline junkies. Imaging being able to see your speeds around a track, speed and heart rate while skydiving, etc. That is pretty cool. 

 

where I think they will struggle a bit is its size. It looks 2X-3X bigger than the new go pro. That means more weight and space which will deter some. It will also be interesting to see the mounting options for it.
