What women want is stuff that works, has value for the money, and fits into our lives. (That doesn't mean we must have it in pink or to match our kitchens, oh marketing geniuses.) |

Exactly! I don't care that my Sony is black, although I wish they would have left off the chrome (it catches the light and causes glare). I am perfectly capable of personalizing the thing myself. I have already purchased a couple of different covers to to do that.
I just wish they would listen to what we want it to do! If the companies would start perusing the threads here, they would realize that the changes for which we are asking are nominal, but would make purchasing a device much more attractive. It makes you wonder who is doing the pre-market analysis! Didn't they talk to previous and potential reader buyers? I still can't believe Sony did add a dictionary look-up.
For $400, that should have been included.
