Jereoen, briefly took a look at this and it looks like a Bluetooth version of DaveEk's box. All this does is provide the encoder possition to the Computer. Then its up to the software to provide the brains for the operation. The AN is a dedicated hand held multi-processor brain. With plenty more features than any software control system i have seen for these type of encoder to serial box's. The one big advantage is that the AN is does not require a PC and is very portable and easy to use. While this could be duplicated by software control from Astromist on a PDA, I think you will find that AN has a longer list of features.
All that aside the BATI certainly is another good addition to the DSC market and definelty will be a good and ecconomical way for people to get up and running. You could build this yourself google DaveEk's box. The only difference is this uses bluetooth transmiter to make it wire free comms to the PDA or PC. But you could easily add this to a DaveEk's system by getting a AirCable Bluetooth to Serial adapter for about 60$USD.
