TrackR recently announced that it will be unveiling new devices at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. TrackR is a startup that manufactures small devices that help users in tracking lost things through a combination of Bluetooth connection and a technology called "crowd GPS."

On top of the list is the new TrackR Wallet 2.0, which is an updated version of the original TrackR wallet. The new wallet has an improved form factor that closely resembles that of a credit card, making it easier to be stored inside a wallet. Measuring just 2 mm thick, TrackR claimed that the new Wallet 2.0 is the "thinnest item-finder on the market."

The TrackR Wallet 2.0 has a replaceable battery, which users can easily replace when it runs out. Like all TrackR devices, the Wallet 2.0 can track an item within 100 feet through Bluetooth. Once the item is outside of that range, it will rely on a crowdsourced network created by other TrackR products in order to locate it. The so-called crowd GPS feature is reliant on the number of networked TrackR devices within the user's neighborhood, according to The Verge.

Engadget also reported that all TrackR devices are compatible with Amazon Alexa. This feature makes it easy for users to locate lost items by simply asking Alexa for help like retracing their steps. TrackR said that the Wallet 2.0 will hit the market sometime this spring, with a price tag of $29.99.

Aside from the upgraded Wallet, TrackR is also planning to release a cheaper version of the TrackR bravo called TrackR pixel, which now has a plastic casing instead of aluminum. Due to this change in material, the pixel only costs $24.99.
