Apple Strategy
I swear I'm not an Apple fanboi, but I am impressed with their products and their plan. Their alternatives for Google Maps, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, dictation software, Growl, and navigation systems along with their ruthless elimination of some technologies (optical drives, Ethernet, traditional hard disk drives, etc.) makes them a trendsetter and always gives the competition something to think about.

Wouxun KG-UV920R: Are you a betting man?
I'm not saying it won't show up next month. I'm not saying it won't show up at all. It has just been too long in coming for me to want to put any money on it. I'll stick with safer bets like sub-prime mortgages.

KG-UV920R Mobile - It's Here! (Almost)
Martin Lynch & Sons in UK are taking orders NOW - with a delivery date of July this year - yes, next month. Firm price of UK£229.25 (including tax).
Multi-band Transmit/Receive - UHF: 400-520MHz, VHF: 136-174Mhz, FM (RX Only): 65-220MHz, AM: (1) 500-2000Khz (2) 50-500KHz (3) 2-30MHz
If the normal pricing system is followed, that probably means the price in N. America should be around US$250 - The UK sellers can never understand the correct exchange rate!
(G3OCR rushes off to poke the knife through the slot in the piggy-bank to see how much money is in there!)
