My beta unit has been working perfectly for at least a month. I have not
tried every single function, I do have a life. But claims that the Touch
will never work is pure troll-food. Mine has worked well for several months.

The technical term is that when you place an order, the seller can place
a "auth" for the amount. This does not transfer money, but it does
reduce the credit card owner's credit available amount by the amount of
the "auth". When the product ships, then the seller can do a "capture"
of the sale, which does transfer money from the customer's bank to the
vendor's bank. Even then, no money is really moved from any account.

But understanding how credit card processing is done is no help to the
hype of the trolls.
