Have you ever thought of writing your own programs? This route is very dollar cheap, and can work on a huge number of devices. No one said you have to buy a brand x super hyper combobulator with embedded digital gimmicks every time you need new functionality. If major industries didn't work out their own problems by inventing proprietary intellectual properties, the world would be a much less interesting and more expensive place.

I'd love to tell you it isn't that difficult, but I hate to lie to people. Starting with nothing and conjuring up some code to accomplish something precise is usually not that easy. It takes sweat equity, skill and determination. The success of a program well written, that actually does what you want it to, is a great confidence booster.

If these virtues are in short supply in your realm, feel free to spend money to have someone else do it for you. If you're weak and poor, learn and grow stronger: you have no choice. If you're rich and lazy, get up off those benjamins and spend some. Just don't complain about it when you feel like you got robbed.
