It certainly didn't impress me ....

The Apple and CarWarehouse stores did, with their customer experience, not forgetting the packaging I could see for the Kindle was hardly inspiring.

Yes, Steven, I agree, a 5 minutes on a March morning was not a good poll, but I've experienced the same at other times (even during the Christmas rush at Sony store). Putting mock-ups on display ought to have a sign with them saying "Please ask to see a working model" - or similar .... ?

The impression I was getting was that Sony and Kindle were 'cheap and nasty'; Sony and Elonex far from durable....Not a good sales pitch.

Probably one of the functions of the blue-coated tribe at Apple is to quickly monitor duff devices and replace them before anyone notices....
