Steve, and all access tech vendors/retailers.
I realise it's a closely guarded secret but seriously how much is too much with this stuff. 

How far can the arm be put in?

Are people getting their arms in as much as we believe?
Sorry to pick on yourself mate but you're a very public figure and often as not will be honest if if it's not what people want to hear.
Will the endless debates on email lists ever change this high-way robbery that makes products only available to people who, 

A.  Con the system at some level.
BE. Get some establishment to pay for a product on their behalf, which often involves some quick talking and quick wittedness on the users behalf.
C. Long hard saving, which not that many people seem to do anymore in our credit debt riddled society.
This stuff is specialised and I get that, I think that anyone who's been knocking about with this stuff for a while will admit it will cost more.
It's rubbish and unfair but there is allot more research and development, (mostly on the software side than hardware), that goes on.
I'd just once like for this stuff to come up and some change to be executed and something to come out of our debates on mailing lists rather than just he usual, we're being ripped off and those pesky Americans are getting the good deal again. 

Much of which I agree with btw.

One suggestion I'd have for change is the same as they have in Canada.
Did you know you can actually get updated adaptive tech gear every couple of years?
We're talking in your home stuff, stuff that you justify that helps you live independently.
I don't want to get into the debate of what we have here that we'd probably not wish to do without to have our tech stuff bought for us because that's more into the VI Gen area. 

Any thoughts?

Dj Paddy

Steve - when I looked on expansys it was £379. It can be got for £330.85 at 

www.mobilebee.co.uk

and that includes VAT. I've found it in the US for Under $500, so cheaper
still! -

| The price does seem high, take this example.  You buy the software for
| £1080, the phone for £400 and Talks for £150 it would cost £1630.  The
| package from Sight And Sound, inc 5 percent VAT would be £182.98.  Doing
it
| that way would be a saving of over £180 and who knows, you might even find 
| the phone cheaper.
