I contacted NextEngine and asked what would be necessary to transfer my license after if and when I sold the scanner on eBay to get back at least part of the $2500.00 I spent on this scanner.
Their reply? I got a call from them and the support person said that the NEW BUYER would have to pay $250.00 for a 3-year warranty in order to activate the software on their computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF?! So, think about this before you try and sell it. Unlike a laser printer or video card, NextEngine wants to grab $250 every time a used scanner is sold!
I'm heading over to MaximumPC.com and asking the Dog to look into this since I'm pretty sure it is a ripoff. I'll also be making posts elsewhere on the net to make sure everyone is aware that once you get this scanner that you won't be able to get rid of it without forcing the BUYER to cough up money to get it working.
Sorry for the rant, but this really tweaked my day to learn this!
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
