Thanks. It sounds more fragile than I would like, so I guess I will budget this as strictly a 2 year life cycle item.
Presumably, by replacement time there would be something better available and probably for under $100. So I guess my concern is that I will be overseas, it will break, and I won't be able to replace it until I am back in the USA.
Anyway, that is definitely something that I can deal with. The fact that it is firmware-upgradeable is huge for a new product like this, and the fact that I won't have country restrictions on the purchase of Amazon items is enough for me to take the risk.
