between this issue and the pocketbook rep's tacit admission that their software isn't likely to run well on the IQ anytime soon, I'm going to take a pass on it.

disappointing

here's the relevant issue for pocketbook since we've rolled to a new page.

There I was greeted with a different Chinese popup. This time when I pressed it, it again went to the download screen and informed me the content is not supported on this phone.

I also noticed some adware at the bottom of AFM. See the ad "Four Steps to God"? Pressing that ad took me to the 4stepstogod.mobi website. I pressed Back and a new Chinese ad was there, so I pressed it and was taken to some website to download something that was in 1.0beta status. Who knows what that means.

PocketBook, what's going on here?
