   How is pointing out that Spotminders TAGS have no advantages over   
   Apple's product (except a hole)...   
      
   ...and one major disadvantage (not supporting UWB for locating them)...

   You have some kind of mental disorder where you cannot admit that you   
   started talking about the WRONG PRODUCT.
