Delphi -
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't a delay in Bookeen receiving the screens from the manufacturer one of the main reasons for the engineering samples coming to you late? That's rather beyond their control. It probably forced them to try to compact their firmware development schedule. Sounds like they may have been overly optimistic. I'm sure we all would have liked to see the firmware come out a bit more quickly but I would imagine they've got a much smaller development team than Sony. Personally I'm ok with waiting a bit if the end product has the features and quality that I want. Maybe it's because I work in development as well, but I see first hand how these things happen. It makes me inclined to cut folks a little slack here and there.
