I understand your view and agree, but my personal experience over the past few days with the 770 suggests to me that the 770 will not make it in the mass market and not because some people are "expecting too much" from the 770. I for one only want to use the 770 to browse the net and , most importantly, to read my work e-mail on the web (since the e-mail client is poor and their is no citrix clent). As documented in this forum, however, the 770 has a problem with outlook web access, and the proposed solution, installing a proxy server, requires a degree in computer programing in linux. Further, I do not see any report that even this proposed solution fixes the problem with owa. I really do not want much from the 770 other than to browse, but, without outlook web access, I think I have no choice but to return the 770. It is really a shame too because the 770 probably CAN do what I want, but an average consumer like me cannot make it happen. This goes equally to the creation of the swap file that I have read about with great interest. An average user like me just cannot do what it takes to get the 770 into prime form. Ultimately, I cannot see a mass market for a device that leaves an average user in this position. Very disappointing because the news reader is excellent, and I was anxious to play with viewing movies on the device. DAMN OUTLOOK WEB ACCESS!!
