You can get 4.x or 5.x too, which is nice since I know that some people have a preference for the older version. The question that remains is whether or not Fonix would give me anywhere near the $5 per unit deal in quantities as low as 300. The adaptive tech market is known for low sales figures. Of course the low sales are due to the high prices, and at least in part the high prices are our own damned fault. Someone with a rather advanced business degree once tried to explain this to me, but my brain was full long before I really understood much more than that. *grin* -- "We are what we repeatedly do.
