Always having to carry your Windows/Mac laptop with you to get documents on the DPT-RP1 feels very constraining, particularly when you realize you're walking around with >$3000 worth of devices all the time (a mobile phone which I can't use to get documents on the DPT-RP1, a Macbook Pro, and a DPT-RP1).
Certain features such as navigation/keyboard may be added in future firmware updates. I doubt this however, given that the predecessor DPT-S1 was sporadically updated (with minor things), Sony deliberately removed these features (the DPT-S1 had them), and Sony hasn't bothered adding these features within 2 weeks after the DPT-RP1's release (which is when people decide to keep the device or return it).
What is certainly out of the question is that internet access - and cloud integration - will happen on the DPT-RP1. The DPT-S1 had internet and cloud integration, but the DPT-RP1 is totally locked down with the Digital Paper App and Sony's network security certificates (which Sony spent a year on developing). You can't even drag-and-drop from the file explorer to the device anymore - only through the App on your laptop can you access the device.
Given the hardware improvements (particularly the faster Carta screen) the DPT-RP1 would have been a great device if it had the DPT-S1's software. A pity!

The Sony reps have already stated they are fixing some of the navigation issues. Sorry that it didn't come fast enough for you. Your negativity is astounding. Give yours back already and save us the same old tired dialog a million times over.
