[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Micro Waves, the Battle is Lost

[cheez]

The Oral-B Pro 5000 SmartSeries.. has an app you download.  And he app is 
not accessible.  At least, not yet.
So don't waste your time downloading it.  It's not necessary.  My dentist 
said I needed to start using an electric toothbrush, so I just thought it 
was cool to have a bluetooth toothbrush, and since it was a $150 item, which 
dropped to $85 after it being on sale and a coupon added from Amazon.com, I 
got it.
