Interesting.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

"...$249, and it includes two years of free apps."
So after two years, then they want additional app fee per year?
Probably a minor detail. But who knows?

Well lets hope not since it appears to be small enough to carry around in your pants pocket

Hmmm, but isn't the public being told this is how we know what stars and planets are made from?

There's a dramatic price difference between the two kits (50 USD vs. 1500 USD).

That's about how much a near infrared reflectance spectrum will accurately tell you about a multicomponent mixture, even with Fourier analysis. Pure substances? Sure, it can pick out some easy ones by looking for telltale peaks for certain functional groups, but it will also be very easily fooled. Very useful analytical tool in concert with others, but nothing like what these guys are pitching- they're talking about it like it's going to be the equivalent of a Star Trek tricorder...The claims made in the article provided in the link are, in my opinion, very exaggerated to say the least. Not wasting my time to see what is claimed in the Kickstarter campaign that apparently raised $2 million for this idea.
