[Electronics-talk] K-NFB Reader Mobile

Mon Oct 28 17:52:34 UTC 2013

I am not aware of anyone who is working on developing a standalone
reader, as smart phones have this capability, and are a lot cheaper.

I think you have the stand alone reader.  The one we were talking about
is the one that is bundled with a phone, I believe.
Regarding your product, I'm not surprised the price is still hefty.
Look how long it took someone to come out with an affordable currency
identifier. 
When I got the first Brytech Inc.'s model, I paid $375 and when it had
to be upgraded in 05, I paid $280.  Now you can get one for at least
$120.
So perhaps someone will produce a stand-alone reader, like yours, that
would be more affordable.  That is, if one doesn't want to become an
iUser.  For that is the cheapest way to go, now.
