With the greatest respect I think people have good reason to 
*complain*.  Looking at these lists I'd bet there are more system 
engineers and developers than *ordinary* users.... why? because we saw a 
device that was open and accepted the fact that the software was in its 
infancy and perhaps relished the chance to be involved to bringing it up 
to spec..... but one thing that was not expected was that people would 
be spending money on a device that could have potential hardware 
issues.  Perhaps those complaining are those who can least afford to 
blow $399.

Regards,

Jon
