The PB302 was issued before the firmware for it was ready. It still isn't. Meanwhile PB issues an impressive number of new devices for each of which the firmware is not yet up to par or 'final'. PB is issuing way more hardware than can be dealt with by their apparently hugely understaffed software dept.
Maybe the PB302 will get new firmware in 2011, but we should have had this already last summer. Ever since I bought this so-called multifunctional device the only thing it does is reading (and even this was unstable for a long time).
I'm simply fed up with this. I feel cheated by PB. I do not believe anymore that the promised firmware (including all announced functionality) will ever be issued. As for that I do not expect more than a fix to soothen the likes of me.
Please note also that the rest value of a not even half year old PB302 with an extra 40 euro leather cover is less than half the purchase price. In other words, it is unre-sellable. That's why I feel PB should offer a decent trade-in, get rid of the PB30x disaster, and make sure they keep happy customers.
And for the future: never ever issue any hardware before you get the firmware right!
