From a development standpoint, I would imagine building a unit that handles different ECUs and still manage to be feature packed in a limited amount of memory to be a nightmare. Not only would there be tons more QA needed (since this deals with multiple types of ECUs), but the time it would take (since it is a small development team I'm assuming) to test could delay the product who knows how long.

Whoa, what? The only thing they're changing on this if you send it in is the programming. It works on both cars and the same amount of QA had to go in to it. EcuFlash does it without any issue. I'm guessing the holdup is the limited storage on this device.
The ONLY reason this thing doesn't work on more than one car at a time is for sales. Take that however you want.

Rombinhood@OpenFlash, where does the name "OpenFlash" come from? Clearly nothing about the tablet is open. Is it because you don't encrypt the roms? That puts you in the same company as almost every other ecu flash system that isn't choking out the Subaru community.
Does "open" imply that you'd be cool with someone buying your tablet, snooping on the communications and writing their own software?
