But if there will be no future support or OS/firmware upgrades, it seems . . . unwise. And the univ. wouldn't authorize the funds under the circumstances.

What a gigantic bummer. Like other folks have said, this device might have been made expressly for me, especially since I have a whole arthritis/pinched nerve/carpal tunnel combo thingie that means I need to be doing more things onscreen than on paper. I don't want some wafer-thin, featherlight, totally un-ergonomic, painful to use piece of trash like a Kindle or iPad, and I don't need 5 billion pointless apps. But integrating an e-reader/writer with a tablet in a nice large solid durable package? This is total brilliance. I dunno -- I'm halfway tempted to plunk down my own funds and grab one while I still can, support and warranty or not. Everything I need it to do, it already does well enough.

Or I guess the alternative is to limp along with only the laptop and old reliable Time:Master planner book and hope desperately that someone, anyone, somewhere realizes the marvelous practicality and limitless potential of this design.
