 ## Future Plans ##
 
-TeleMetrum v1.2 is back from our assembler and the first batch are being 
-prepared for sale, hopefully by Christmas day.  The significant user-visible
-change is that we've moved to a 70g accelerometer by default, due to poor
-availability of the part we previously used due to damage to the Freescale
-facility in Sendai caused by the Japan earthquake / tsunami.  Full details 
-will be posted here when they're available to order.

-  passive parts everywhere.  That means working under a microscope to 
-  place parts!  Without an inspection microscope, loading and testing these
-  boards might be impossible.

-  power consumption
-  can exceed the rate at which we draw power from the USB interface, 
-  particularly when the GPS is in cold start mode.  This means a battery must 
-  be attached during operation, and also that the battery will only charge
