Vapourware Galore

I find it very offensive that these guys have been using this forum as a place to promote robertbs vapourware. Your 9.7 reader was supposed to be ready less than a year ago or so and a lot of people put off their purchases, including myself, and wasted their time following your useless thread -imo again- that was basically "hey tell us your idea, let me promote my wares, do you maybe want a coffee machine feature with your ebook reader?" and a "oh we run into no 1,2,3, 999, technical problem and we won't deliver" affair.

And now we get "oh these poor guys" comments from very suspect to their affiliation with astak "forum members".

Irex didn't come here promoting there vapourware but they had a better product that materialized. I know this is a news/rumors site but I personally wouldn't give these guys the time of the day, and I consider it unfair to other manufacturers who havent' taken us for the proverbial ride to give these guys free promo here.
