i'd bet money that with all the crap he's going thru trying to make his product field upgradable and secure,
something is going to go wrong elsewhere, and it's going to end up not working right in the field. can almost

right, and end up screwing the device in the process.

3 hours to flash upgrade a product ? lol ! this thing is doomed before it ever hits the UPS shipping dock.
