Forgive me in advance, but SO WHAT? At the very least, evolution is based
very directly on competition. At the moment, neither potential supplier
has a product... let them manufacture what they will and let the market
(y'know, nature red in tooth and claw?) choose.
On the one hand, I wish Solarbotics the success it deserves, but on the
other I don't support monopolies. There is no unwritten law stating that
the BEAM community is required to patronize just one supplier.
