Off the price point topic,

My one concern is people taking risks outside of their ability to manage, because they can trigger the PLB at any time. Same issue I've got with the GPS/cellphone combo, or just cellphones.

All that does is let folks know where you are, there's no guarantee of rescue. Ask those guys on Mt Hood.

Back to the price point issue, if the technology is mature I could buy one at the current price. I just don't want to spring for one and then find it's been replaced by a newer model (better, smaller, faster) so I'm just waiting.
