That's nice if your going to buy an elite so the MS908,MS908P and the MS905 are considered throw away scanners when the battery depletes. It doesn't make any sense to update these tools anymore if that's the case. The money to be made with scanners is selling updates as it's only software which you'd be developing along with selling more scanners anyhow. Doesn't seem like an intelligent strategy to pursue as it also creates ill will with your customers. Your choice I guess but the reply doesn't address the topic of the post.
