What the Deuce?

Why do so many people on here complain about their product?
Look the Pocket eDGe I just got for a belated Birthday present may not have ALL the bells and whistles the newer tablets have, but I wish people would look at all it does do and shut it!
1. This can view and mark up PDFs in the field for my profession - EVEN THOUGH I can't download AutoCAD WS app - I can still find a work around. Yes, a little bummed I can't download it and use it but overall not a HUGE ordeal - besides I need a workstation to edit CAD drawings not a tablet anyway.
2. The apps on Amazon are still mostly able to be used...yes, I can't download Memento catalog app, but there are work arounds for even that.
3. This thing is very powerful for what it can accomplish and the ability to use a Micro SD card is just one bonus....yeah, I'm pointing a finger at you Apple and your proprietary iPad - I gotta buy a new tablet everytime I want a new space adjustment.
4. Look at all the inputs. Mini and FULL size USB - yes, I said FULL size USB - holy smokes that is sweet I can plug in anything - look ma' no hands.
5. Bluetooth - yes it has it!

Ok, so it doesn't have a great app selection or the 'official' market app store. Maybe the people at entourage are a tad bit slow at rolling out updates, but good grief I couldn't keep up with the technology so why are we so demanding, because the BIG companies roll out something new every time we turn around.
Give it a rest and relax; enjoy your eDGe's and be happy you have so much in your hands.
Good product-thank you!
