I'd love a Transporter but two things stop me.
First is the UK price. I've heard numerous excuses as to why the UK
must pay a premium price for Logitech ( many other)products but the
Transporter takes this the the level of a pure simple rip-off. I've
just checked pricing the US price is

Hi,
I am very curious whether Logitech planned to develop a new version of
