Dear Mukesh, You are right one needs to thoroughly test new devices for its robustness and accessibility for VI. Also find whether is it worth investing in it? That’s where at XRCVC we try and test new devices. We are a very first buyer of his unit in Mumbai. We got this sample unit on Saturday afternoon. So still working and testing it. Do not want to make any comments at this moment unless I myself test it with various test scenarios and environments / programs. Soon I will write my findings about ClickScan to the list.
