Thanks Peter for the comments,
I agree with you, it is a pretty lousy ad I wrote. Howz this:

Echo v4.2:
Brief description:

various others restricted only by your imagination

- How cheap is it
The total set costs under $10 in single unit quantities.

- How easy can it be manufactured
It consists of merely four components

- How save is it (usability, harmless, CE approved, UL listed )
It is code, it has not been approved by any regulatory authorities (as there are'nt any here in Pakistan). So you can say it has been approved by all regulatory authorities here in Pakistan.


- How better is it in comparison to other similiar products already on the market.
Currently available products are either:
IR receivers or
IR transmitters
This is both
Also, with the source you can fine tune it such that it perfectly fits your specific application.
