Yes, the idea is it's a hand held device that guides you to today's Geohash, it's just a standard GPS device (HP iPAQ rx5900 Travel Companion) but our program is designed specifically for Geohashers.
And the team name is technically "Octopus Software Development", but there's 4 of us in it, hence we are Octopodes.
