I agree to some extent, but the Technology/Gadget/Home Entertainment/Digital Media market's where the greener grass is, not particularly locked.

right, and that's why you have 'test markets' and 'sample products'. I bet A company like 'Apple' would invest in "X" amount of sample products, to distribrute & trade in "Y" test market?

just a thought

that device would be awesome in a club, it would tell you which girl is single/slut/STDed/lesbo/etc... hehehe, but then you would look like a complete dork with this hanging from your neck

well played, sir. indeed tricky situation.

would it also tell tell you how much you're worth?

Likewise who is going to invest in the company. Especially if the other major phone companies etc.. will just do a knock off product anyway. Its not that they can't make these things, it is just that they don't need to yet.. if they come out with the best right away people won't buy newer "improved" units. None the less, it is "one step" programming - it gets far more involved. Eg. this said esp stuff --- just providing baseline information. There are other cell capacities. == the thing is though I don't like the end product, I'm not a totalitarian, so why would I want to speed up the police state? IP laws are another major concern. Even if I make the "new and improved" technology - other people own subcomponents to build it. It is largely a matter of use.. and that is part of it right there.. that is why the big companies have the advantage
