    Very few units sold. Distribution was poor, most were GSM only and only a couple supported 850mhz. I had the E70-2 and later E61i but I never meant anyone else with one.

    Sadly their Heroku dyno has fallen over. It's open source and works locally though. Old Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLaMCr8g0n4 Github: https://github.com/kitzeller/barba…

    Yeah, but it's hard to argue with the fact that pairs/ipairs in loops are 25% to 2.5x slower than using `for i = 1,#tbl do v = tbl[i] end`. Performance isn't everything, but it's n…
