I am not part of the development team so I'm not really qualified to answer exactly what went into the development. You see although I am fairly technical and I have been working in this field for a number of years I couldn't build one. I think the best way for you to get your questions answered is to actually spend the time and look at a unit. I didn't get into this discussion to start a feud. I don't control the pricing and neither do you. I tried to answer a question concerning the shipping time for the unit. I am also happy to answer any productive questions that people might have. I am not willing to spend my time arguing about something that accomplishes absolutely nothing. All I would ask is that if you are interested in a Notetaker with a Braille display that you give the ELBA a look. Compare it to the other devices that are available, including comparing prices and pick the one that is right for you. That's the real world. I feel very strongly that if you do this you'll see that the ELBA is a good product at a competitive price. Tommy
