So I would just focus on either the DIY device and ignore people who can't install it or focus only on the consumer device and hope to get more customers and make the licensing costs less of a problem. If I've understood it correctly, you would have to pay the minimum $15 000 for the MP3 license before you sell the first device, so you need to ensure you have funding for this if you want to do the "Ready to Go" device, if you only sell 100 of them the first year the MP3 license adds $150/device, so you need to ensure you have packaged it in a nice case so it can sell more than hundred devices per year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
