I beg to differ: you did not explain their approach to software development - you simply stated what their attitude was.

As far as philosophy goes: I am a relativist and I enjoy the world in all its imperfectness.


But that does not mean I have to like everything.
Especially not an overpriced product that does only half of what it is supposed to do, a company that is basically incomunicado, where you have to practically beg the shop to act as a mediator, that questions/requests may be "forwarded" and in turn may be answered or rather not, by the shop/mediator.
Where every improvement of software comes along with a new set of problems - of course improved in version 1.7 a,b c,d,e.

You are right in that all judgments depend on expectations.


Sansa, interesting. I heard the new Fuze got pretty bad reviews(Amazon). I use an older Fuze(with the wheel) and the Clip+, mostly for audiobooks. I can't complain, except for the battery consumption.

Rockbox, something like that could help theM92 - I don't use it though. Too many options make things complicated ...
