I'm fairly certain that Larry Skutchan mentioned on one of his podcasts
that there may be a redesign of the BookPort at some future time that
would give the unit more horsepower. Don't know if that would mean
dropping the old model or just adding a second model to meet the needs of
some users. Maybe Larry could jump in here and give us some idea of
direction, knowing that he probably couldn't give specifics. In this
case, a discussion of wish lists could be of use to let APH know things
some of us would like to see. While I don't agree with every idea others
have come up with, we can all get some input into the process if they do
update the unit.

I think the problem with this discussion is that those that are
wanting additional functionality are fully aware of the fact that
basically, it is a new BookPort that is being envisioned, and not
the current device. Folks that like the device the way it is are
going to be fine, because it would be a totally new model. With
regard to technology, the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it!" can't apply. If it did, we would still be back in the dark
ages.
I also agree that the current BookPort is absolutely wonderful.
However, I can easily envision a new model with more horse power,
and the ability to do just about everything I have seen mentioned
here.
I also think that one shouldn't assume that you have to sacrifice
size and weight to gain functionality. With today's technology, I
don't believe one has to make that sacrifice. Just my 2 cents
worth of course.
