Buy a device for what it will do NOW, and you're on safe ground. Buy it for what it may do in the future, and you'll very likely be disappointed.
the logic of your argument would be sound if the DX graphite were a stand-alone device, because then there's no frame of reference for people to compare and complain.

what's frustrating folk is that a smaller and cheaper kindle, sporting almost identical technology, has better functionality.....that my friend is utterly ridiculous, especially when that functionality involves minor code changes.

it's a bit like paying for first class air travel then watching everyone in economy class served up free champaign while you get water!
