Hi

Looking at the press release, this is sort of the next step in the process that got us
the NovaTel GPS units on eBay as ex-Uber surplus. If they can come up with a $1,000
board that replaces the NovaTel $5,000 unit, they have a product …. Will we see a 
$100 LEA-9T with the chip in it? Only time will tell. My guess would be not any time soon….
