Dear Rixte:
Everyone has a differing opinion on design. I cannot argue at all. I can ask that you reserve a bit and see the professional pictures of the Pocket PRO in its six colors. I will be posting soon.
Also, realize that sometimes features dictate design to some extent. What we wanted was right and left hand page advance buttons and we wanted a scroll wheel, and it had to have the SD card and a 3.5mm headphone jack. To some extent, these features were somewhat responsible for the rectangular shape.
Also, talking of design, look at the real-LEATHER crush-resistant case. That is absolutely beautiful with its magnetic clasp and stitching. That case is the more likely design feature people will notice.
