Well, the add on is LESS THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH IS A THIRD LESS THAN GPS AND I'M GUESSING THAT THE BAR CODE SCANNER WILL PROVE MORE USEFUL TO JUST ABOUT ANY ONE WHO LIVES ALONE OR WHO DOESN'T LIVE WITH A SIGHTED PERSON.
This is not meant to be a comparison with FS. I'm just wondering if we can ever expect to see something like this for the units we've invested in.

I noticed they have a product which works with the Pakcmate which allows the user to scan the UPC codes on common items such as over the counter medications, food packages, CD's and DVD's, and personal hygiene items. Not only will their system tell you what it is and who makes it, but it will give you dosing instructions for over the counter medications, and it will tell you who is in the particular DVD you are holding. Pretty neat ha? I wonder when HumanWare will get around to offering up a solution to the common everyday problem of knowing whether it's peas or pineapple, or how much cough medicine to take.
