On top of that it needs 5V *stabilized*. That is a big problem, it should have been 7 to 20 V unstabilized, or 2 to 20V unstabilized, so you could use it in a car or some battery powered system. the extra regulator is expensive. Most new stuff works on 3.3V or some type of Li Ion battery, I made a little 9-20V to +5 V switcher with USB connector to charge a real Chinese mediaplayer I have, that because I have plenty 12V wall warts. Adds an other 5$ at least even if DIY.
