This GSM module from Sparkfun Electronics has to be one of the coolest things I have seen from Telit. Basically, what this allows you to do is drop in a SIM card, and use the python interpreter to handle AT commands to control the internal or external hardware or receive info from internal or external hardware. Using the built in GPS hardware allows you to easily make this a GPS tracking device. Or you can connect a camera and have it send you pictures. All this in one module. I definitely want at least 3 of these. It is surely worth the steep price tag, unless you are a struggling college student.

AarLogic C05/3:
* GE863-GPS LP
* Python engine (licence free)
* SIM card holder
* 2x UFL plugs (GPS/GSM)
* PSU 6.0-32.0 Volts DS
* RS232 @ +/- 12 Volt and CMOS
* ready LiPo battery charging circuit
* Size: 56.4 x 84.5 mm
It is supported by source code in Python for the test server of GPS tracking applications http://www.track4free.com .
By wiring the GSM GPS module to your car with cigarette light cable, you get a working tracking device. By developing a small and simple adapter PCB to the dimensions of your enclosure you get your own unique GPS tracking device. If you replace the GPS module, then you get a PCB for burglar alarm system or any other telemetry application.
