Do you think we non-US citizens don't know that we *knew*? Ratio and emotion sometimes diverge a bit. You know something could work out badly but you hope it will not. You see a lot of people request a firmware update (which would be available for everyone) and the result is a pocket-money offer. So, a certain amount of disappointment should be understandable.
BTW I would also be disappointed as a US citizen because I tend to use hardware until it starts becoming a pain to use it which is never less than 4 years and I think that firmware support should be available for at least 3 years. According to Wikipedia the PRS-500 was introduced in Sep. 2007 [edit: this is a typo, should read "Sep. 2006"] ... no full 2 years ago. Since there was also the Librie I would not consider the PRS-500 a technology experiment.
