Untitled edit
Having been convinced to actually buy one of these compasses, I can say that they don't really do what one would infer from reading about them. They don't actually point to the qiblih, they point to magnetic north like any other compass. The buyer is merely given a list of major cities and the corresponding degree heading by which to turn, so there's really no cool technology at work. The design is pretty flimsy as well - just lightweight, easily cracked or scratched plastic. A little research reveals both compasses to be made by the Silva company in Sweden. Being that: 1) the product description is a bit disingenuous, 2) I don't think there's really enough information here to justify a full article in its own right, and 3) this article is essentially an (unintentional, I'm sure) advertisement for one company, I move for article deletion.
