It brings new functionality to smartphones. It will be interesting to see the applications for the general user.

My first thought was stellar spectroscopy! Wouldn’t that be cool!

Price. No kidding... my company bought a couple of XRF 'guns' to verify the chemistry of Zr alloys we were buying from GE Canada.
$35,000 each, so try not to drop them.

Yep, And there is no reason for them to cost that much. I have priced them from 25K to 70K. I can see this becoming a smart phone feature will bring the price of the technology way down... No one is going to pay 25K for a phone no matter what it will do. So hopefully it will become an optional upgraded phone model feature for a couple hundred extra. :)
