Tut tut! I did separate hardware and software in my description.

And your frustration is well-received... at least by some of us who've been intimately involved with the tablets' development and production. As I've stated ad nauseum, I wish I could say more but I have this thing for continual paychecks.

Suffice to say that contrary to the more belligerent claims made here, lessons ARE being learned, and slowly incorporated. Unfortunately, the project can't be turned on a dime.

And this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but I'm gonna repeat something some may find insulting but truly is not meant that way: if you find out quickly that any tablet you buy is not fulfilling your expectations, and you don't share the thrillseeking gene that leads many of us to explore solutions on our own, then by all means return it for a refund and spare yourselves further aggravation. Life is too short to irritate yourself over an electronic device. Get your money back, and go spend it on something more immediately gratifying.
