Hi!

It is no technical problem doing this, but who wants to dismantle
a teddy bear every few days to change the batteries? It is not 
practical, you probably recharge your cellular phone daily... When 
it comes to GPS its military accuracy is a few meters but the civilian
signal is roughly tens of meters at best; this may change soon
however since the civial use is so great today and growing every day.
That the cellular phones within a year or so will contain GPS is true, 
I suspect most manufactures will integrate GPS into their products.

As for the use of GPS inside a teddy bear for a toddler... If you have
a child that runs around so far that you in any way at all could have
any /use/ for GPS, that child is too big to bother taking the teddy 
along...

The use of eavesdropping on a child or toddler banging around the teddy
would be quite low, imagine the dull sound coming though the teddy mixed
with low bass impacts, static discharges, etc. It would be quite annoying
mix of sounds to listen to, who would stand it?

It doesn´t matter if it seriously meant or not, it is a joke anyway.
