"A heart for Sony"? If it weren't for your tone of voice I'd be inclined to take this as fairly good, sarcastic joke.
In my statements, there is no heart nor lack there of involved. I consistute: The DPT RP1 has objectively superior hardware, has objectively inferior software, and is objectively unfit for the job that its predecessor fulfilled for me and many others, almost excellently.

As a tool for making handwritten notes, the RP1 is almost magical. I've been buying devices to try to solve this problem for about twenty five years and this one is a delight to use. I remember how bad all of those old devices were and just smile at how well this device works.

As a table mat, the RP1 is also magical. You think I'm being polemic? I probably am, given that I perceive what I consider a willful effort of ingnorance in your argumentation. Speaking for those who are unsatisfied with the product: we know what we need, we know what we pay, and we know what we expect. I do not comprehend your intention to "defend" the RP1 against those who criticise it, by belittling their requirements, or worse, implying their reluctance to problem-solving ("why don't you get a MacBook Air [you lazy ...]").
I have no emotional issue involved with the perceived insufficiencies of the RP1. What annoys me, though, is your denying other people's right to be unsatisfied with the product and utter their complaints, in the manner that we entitle
you to your opinion and to being satisfied with what you bought.
All this is made worse by your generalising ("very few people don't have Windows or OS X [always around]") and condescending ("leave off your moody brooding about Linux", "you could solve your problems") attitude, and overall lack of knowledge ("Sony has to maintain [the webbrowser]", which is based on WebkitQT and required no to negligible maintanance on Sony's side).
I've nothing else to add w.r.t. the way in which you're treating other people's different opinions in this discussion, other than if anyone is supposedly trying to make PR like you insinuated about a fellow member further up, it should be you. For I can not think of any other reason that you would have for such acting.
As for the RP1, but I already said that, I will be happy with the device if Sony returns at least proper navigation tools, autonomous internet access and backed storage (WebDAV, SMB or similar) and probably some of the very useful annotation features that seem to have been removed, too. For the time being, the RP1 seems overpriced and much inferior to the S1 for people like me, since the overall workflow has deteriorated despite the major improvements to the hardware.
