I'll tell you why your analogy is not proper for the reasons why you give Cause We Are Not Complaining About The Hardware...... This is strictly a software issue bud This is software design No one is complain about the car, they're complaining about the apostery or the felt seating not the frame of the car, or why the car is square when it would look better roundish This is what its about. So your analogy is flawed cause HumanWare can either one, open up the software designing to the outside, I'm not saying lets go GUI I mean just let us third party developers write programs. And my second reason is cause, lets compare when FS tried to tell us the same thing when we wanted to see more development for the m series of units. They said that the processor was too slow, (well yae, at 33 mhz I'd think so) and the ram was not there (yae 2 megs) but we got 400mhz with 32 megs of ram (witch is standard for sighted peoples pdas) and they got a lot of stuff for they're pdas. And we got what????
