It is absolutely unexcusable to wait till the alst day of April, telling people that the device is ready and will launch in April and then suddenly delaying, giving a very unconvincing reason, and not only for a couple of days (delays like that can happen easily) ub tby more than 4 weeks.

This is very unporfessional behaviour and not to be tolerated. .....
Yes - I agree. They could have handled the communication much better. I think that unexpected things have happened though, and I wonder how professional it would have appeared to post successive reasons on the site for each delay? For example: the "pdf reader isn't ready" and one week later "the power management software isn't ready" etc etc. Do you see my point? I think that companies now tend towards monolithic silence and this is perhaps why.

However, now that they have created expectations, I totally agree with you that they should post a statement giving us a feel for the reasons and the time frame. This would only make us less upset. In any case, the uncertainty in this community is not working in their favor...
