The things that you describe as "more powerful" are available in the DPT-S1 in exactly that fashion. Scribbled notes are listed with a preview of the page, highlights are listed by the text that was highlighted (sticky notes, and text notes, which are not available on the DPT-RP1 are also listed) and can be sorted and filtered, together with bookmarks.
I understand better now that you don't feel like there are features missing in the RP1, if you have never noticed the existence of those in the S1 (which I understood you owned and used). I don't think I have to change anything about my argument in this case. |
So, you invented all of those "facts" about Sony's development team based on the fact that they removed a bookmark button? Maybe they just realized that it was pretty much redundant. Do you have any firsthand knowledge of how this product was developed?
The software in the RP1 is different than on the S1, yes. Some features have been removed. I find the interface to be less cluttered and simpler. I'm able to adapt to the new device and feel that the positives far outweigh the negatives.
Have you tried one yet?
I have to say, as a programmer, I often find users to be insufferable. They want the world, they don't want to pay for it, they want it yesterday, they don't want anything changed or removed, and, yet, they want everything to be improved. This usually leads to a bloated code base that is full of redundant functionality that performs poorly.
I knew the owner of a virtual worlds company who received death threats when he removed some features in the virtual worlds! Honestly, Sony never promised us anything. I'm just happy the device exists, as a short while ago, I thought they were exiting the space such that I would be stuck with the S1, which was good, but not great.
