It must all come down to cost, Mark. There are 2 meters that go to more than 2000 readings, the USB contour (one of them) is basically a USB stick with in-built software and metering device, you can even store your own data on it. As the profits are made from the test strips it must make it hard to build more memory in, although I am sure if you had to pay for it then ?5 should cover enough memory for an additional 2000 readings.And the correct size wheels fitted and... yes I simplified things a bit. You also have to have to factor in error for the speed detection device too.
I'm surprised that a meter can only store 500 readings (the electronics part of me would probably like to open up a meter and have a look at what is actually in it). If you are testing 6x per day then that won't make the 90 days. Although I could not imagine a police officer going through 500 readings to make sure you hadn't been too low.
Possibly some bright meter company ought to probably integrate a SD/microSD port to extend memory.
Do the police have the right to go through your meter? I think not, and the relevance of any readings before the current day would be irrelevant.
