So here is the where things get tricky. Yes I don't want to give away all my IP. However I would like feedback on my ideas and see if there is enough interest in it to even bring it to market.
I am also trying not to show too much at a time. There are things in my photos that aren't part of...

Just think Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple out of there garage with a different approach to...
