Wondering how soon is soon?

Silly question here.
I just found out that the tires on my 2001 SCrew 4x4 5.4L are bigger than the stock tires. Through a lot of thread reading here on FTE (and very educated I am becoming from this site!), I learned that my chip could be reprogrammed for my bigger tires. Well, the local Ford dealership wants $75.00 to do the programming.
Now the question: Can I buy one of these Diablo Tuners (I will wait until the new one comes out this month or next) and correct my tire size?
I don't know the price on the new programing device, but I figure why pay the dlrship $75.00 every time I change tires.
Is this device something that I can just plug into my truck, punch some buttons and it do the rest?
I see some posts about downloading programs off of the web. Is there some kind of serial/usb port on this device?
Can I take engine data "real time" from this device?
Sorry, but I have never used a reprogrammer, so I don't really know the capabilities. Is there a web site that will "educate" me on this thing?
Thanks.
