Thanks. Dave's transcript also had something on timescale which I interpreted as "Real Soon Now" (weeks rather than months, I gathered). Why will import to the UK be expensive? OK, with shipping + VAT + duty it won't be at the bank exchange rate, but I would guess no more than 50% added so still well under GBP 299 total (most things sold here seem to be pound == dollar). I'll be interested to see the API for it. I gather the GSM protocol stack is all hard-coded and not changeable for conformance reasons (I expected that), but I'm interested in what it provides to applications.
