There really is no need to be irked (IMHO). What Slim Devices have done is absolutely the normal, accepted, legally correct way of labelling their product - namely, to identify the country in which the _last_ major manufacturing operation took place. They have to apply this label to comply with international import/export regulations, it's not necessarily anything to do with national pride. The individual components (chips, display, metalwork, PCB etc) are made in factories all over the world, and that doesn't change depending on whether they're all finally screwed together in the USA, China or anywhere else. Stating ANY single country of origin for a complex electronic device is therefore a bit of a misnomer - they are all the result of a great deal of international co-operation. The fact that the parts are soldered to the PCB in China really is a very small part of the big picture. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35899
