When I got that GPS (Magellan 1470 4.7-Inch) , I was mad as hell. I'm quite sure that most people did return it.
There are a lot of manufacturers out there that put out hardware with real software problems. The nook was one of the readers that I tried when it first became available to play with in the store. It stunk. Now I guess it's pretty good, but I never tried it again.
Stuff is being rushed out hoping to gain some market share. More often the people who buy it will just return it, and never buy from that manufacturer again. I view this as an error on the CEO/CFO. Surely the people below must know how bad it is. But they want to keep their job, so out it goes.
