There should be some new marketing by T-

Surely the one sentence "Everything you love about the Web, on a
PHONE!!!" is so splendiforously all-inclusive and self-explanatory
that no other advertising will be needed?

I think you're spot on. I nearly returned mine.

Yep. But that's what happens when any and all questions about features
and timelines are met with "You damn kids get off my lawn!"

Yep. For instance, I wrote my game for my wife, but she has to play it
on my phone because damned if I'm buying another one of these half-
finished half-bricks.

Grr. You hit all these nails right on the head. My attitude is
becoming unhelpfully hostile, so enough posting from me today. Think
I'll go see if I had a sale today.
