I guess the obvious question is why couldn't the same device be built as a hardware accessory that plugs into iPod Touch? Would cost a tiny fraction of what this puppy will cost, and since so much of it would be software, lots of value add could be incorporated.

If interested, here is a post that I wrote on the hardware accessory play for iPhone/iPod Touch:

That's not the "stethoscope of the 21st century", that's a tricorder from Star Trek.
