Definitely do NOT disregard the price. I agree it is overpriced. The problem is that it is a niche product. It may or may not come down in price. Other companies, may or may not make a device like this or better. If it were $2000, I'd have a much much more difficult time swallowing and probably would not have gotten it. If you don't need one now, maybe you dont really need one at all. I "ate" the price of $1000 because i've been wanting one for a long time and now that I have one, I use it daily so it is slowly becoming worth the cost.
If you can figure out how to make one cheaper, definitely do it. Depending on how much work it becomes and how much it costs, I'd be interested in building it as well. What would you use as the backbone software?
