Be thankful you are NOt working for a Device Manufacturer. It is pretty maddening.
I remember when you first started posting about the EZ Reader and you mentioned a date and price you guys were hoping for. You were completely clear that this was no promise yet there were still a couple people yelling that you lied to them when things didn't materialize as you'd wished. Most of us are able to easily distinguish between speculation and promise but there'll always be a couple that read in what they want. They're usually the ones that will write nastygrams to your boss, too. Sadly complaints like that probably weigh more heavily in his or her mind even if they're the minority opinion.
