Well, I get really confused/upset (dont know the english word now) when I see a lot of comments in a lot of technology-related sites asking things like this:

― “Does it have PIM software?”
― “Does it make phone calls?”

These are potential IT owners who won’t but it. In the first case, I believe is a really easy issue to solve. And I talk about out-of-the-box worki

Before *you* brought it up neither of those were topic of discussion. My post specifically ignored any functionality that is not delivered out of the box for that exact reason.

Things like the default mail client ceasing to function ( ie crashing before the UI appears ) once gmail is setup is unacceptable for a shipping software release.
