Celestron star finder gizmo

I wasn't paying real good attention, so I'm sure I have the details wrong--but.

Apparently in the next few months, Celestron will have this gizmo out-- It's about the size of binoculars, and handheld, although I did not ctch whether it had any optics in it at all. Apparently you look through it into the sky. It has a GPS to know where you are, and some kind of level and compass system to define the horizon, and azimuth. It then tells you you to look left, right, up down, to find your object--and I would suspect could identify whatever you pointed it to.

Did anybody else see this?
