Looks good. You might want to note that <i class="">antennas</i> for the
modem's 3G & GPS ports are not included with the modem board.
Some cars provide GPS, and don't require it from the modem.<br class="">
<br class="">
You said there would be special pricing for developers? Just
curious. I don't mind paying full price, since the initial
prototype was provided free.<br class="">
