Great post, really enjoyed following the trail along with the author. The sad part is, knowing how useless a lot of ISP's abuse@ emails are, the FTP might never be taken down this way.
Hard to imagine how they arrived at the total cost of €1,400 - what about the hours of work that went into the web app and iPhone app, and all the visual design? Are they calculating their hourly rate as insignificant?
Product looks good, but this €1,400 figure is meaningless.
Just total nonsense which makes no mention of either general inflation or the price-deflation of consumer electronics. My parents saved up to buy my Spectrum when I was a kid. Now, a parent could get a laptop off eBay for $50 and install Linux. Computers are WAY cheaper now than they were then. sigh
