The URI offers many extra features that most of us never touch. Such as? I've been thinking of producing a lower cost alternative, but realize that the cost of a GENUINE CM119 alone is more than you pay for a whole FOB from your favorite Chinese supplier. You then add the cost of an enclosure and board to the parts count, things add up pretty quickly.
Lay the schematics side by side. The URI type device offers quite a few features not provided by a modified FOB. My USB-RIM device went several steps further down the "additional features" path. It seems there are few people that want to pay for additional features or better engineering. <shrug>
