Has anyone looked at the new one just released?:

http://www.dlpdesign.com/dlp-rfid1-ds-v11.pdf

"The DLP-RFID1 is a low-cost, USB-powered module for reading and writing
 ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3, and Tag-it™ passive RFID transponder tags. 
 It has the ability to both read and write up to 256 bytes of data in 
 addition to reading the unique identifier (UID).

All of the DLP-RFID1’s electronics and antenna reside inside the 
unit (3.25” x 2.3” x .83”), and all operational power is taken from
 the host Windows/Windows CE/Linux/Mac PC via the USB interface.  
The range of the internal antenna is from 2-4 inches depending upon
 the size of the transponder tag. " $119.95


It is 13.56 MHz only, any other downsides to it?
