The first Pocket PROs will ship before the end of this month WITH Adobe Digital Editions on them?? How can anyone say the Pocket PRO is vaporware for God's sake.

Fictionwise has just about finished the SDK in Linux for the EZ Reader. The problem is that B&N bought Fictionwise and new contracts with a ton of pages are being discussed. A lot of the agreement we had with Fictuionwise is changed and we now have to look at major documents with a lot of new costs involved. Would any of you sign a 30 page legaleeze document without getting everything straight? Particularly if it changed from what had already been agreed to?

This is NOT so simple, people. The eReader firmware upgrade will come.

In the meantime, the ADE is already on the Pocket PRO at a cost of $75,000 so please tell me how a device is vaporware if it is coming with the ADE and has everything I said it would have... within 4 weeks!

This sort of thing is WHY manufacturers do not stay online direct. They do not need this. We try hard to keep you up to date and tip you in advance... and you leap to brand a device vaporware because eaveryone cannot match YOUR timeline. And, you do it on my news post?
