I don't think it's worth $200 for the convenience of a DMM in your iPhone and you need a separate box that houses the probes anyway. That money would be way better spent on a traditional DMM. For that price, you could get a DMM with 100 times the accuracy and resolution. Just don't see any value there other than the ability to remote view. If you really need that function, higher end DMMs have USB interfaces so you can remote view over a network. They are also available with digital storage so you can set one up and review collected data later.

right the price is obscene. but the remote view and iphone logging capabilities are tempting.

If they could get the price down to where it would compete with a mid-range DMM, $50-$100, it might be worthwhile.
