I both heartily agree and disagree:

I agree that bug reporting in endless forum threads is a terrible way of handling things.

I disagree that the Wiki is the correct place to handle bug reports. While a separate bug page (I'd like to disconnect it from the wishlist) may be a workaround to the missing bucktracking system, it is not _really_ a suitable means.
There should be a bugtracking system in place, which allows references to specific FW versions, bug discussions, document submissions, official feedback and proper status information (closing the bug when it's eliminated).

W.r.t. feature discussion, I am especially happy, if annotation/scribbling/exporting workflows are streamlined - the rest is rather nice-to-have.
But looking at the wishlist, I feel that Onyx is putting the effort in the right place there (even multitasking is useful in this context). If I got the mentioned things plus multiple annotation colors, I'd be absolutely happy about the device. (I'm rather optimistic that some 3rd party developer may implement external keyboard support, if the hardware supports it )

To answer janek's original question: I personally feel that the strongest motivation to install 1.7RC is https support for the browser. The rest is a set of added small features (check wishlist) which currently come at the cost of new bugs. (It's a beta version, after all )
P.S.: It is usable, though

Cheers.
