Thanks. Dave's transcript also had something on timescale which I
interpreted as "Real Soon Now" (weeks rather than months, I gathered).
Why will import to the UK be expensive? OK, with shipping + VAT + duty
it won't be at the bank exchange rate, but I would guess no more than
50% added so still well under GBP 299 total (most things sold here seem
to be pound == dollar).
I'll be interested to see the API for it. I gather the GSM protocol
stack is all hard-coded and not changeable for conformance reasons (I
expected that), but I'm interested in what it provides to applications.
