Dear Sian:
To the best of my knowledge this is the current state-of-the-art on TTS and I am NOT saying it is perfect. It is decent; but TTS in general has a ways to go for every manufacturer. It works decent on a long trip when you are tired and want to relax. I am sure that the factory will be one of the first to strive toward improving it!
Regarding the price of $199 for the Pocket PRO... the official deadline is September 30 at midnight. What will happen then... I just do not know.
We have many retail stores that want to carry it. They cannot live with the existing margin and are urging a higher MSRP. This would be good because it would mean more sales volume. Contrary to popular belief, selling thru Retail Stores does NOT mean a lower price... it means they have a margin to maintain.
At this point, all I know is that $199 is a great price for the end user... but it is due to rise at the end of this month. It may go up $30 or it may go up $10. I am NOT trying to scare you into buying... just telling you that this is the way it stands right now.
