SAT Update

[Phil Ryan]

Jonathan,

I'm familiar with the PocketPCs, notebooks, verituners etc., but I'm
comfortable with the SAT and know they will someday be upgrading or go the
way of the Strobotuner.  I was just thinking (collectively) of what features
I and others would like them to consider when/if they upgrade.
