Yeah, nice article...sure makes up for the frustration caused for all the people who trusted Astak to provide a non-defective device. Somehow I don't think patting one's self on the back is appropriate given the number of unhappy customers that are turning up here...whatever helps you sleep I suppose.
You are a very negative person when it comes to the Pocket Pro. Of the faults you mention EVERY ebook reader has had similar issues. Check out the Kindle forums, and Sony Reader, you'll see they all have battery/charging issues, USB issues - of recent there have been Kindle 2's with the 5-way button splitting in half.

What does matter with these reported faults is how the company deals with it. Astak from day one have been very active in replacing these defective units and accepted full responsibility - very honourable company in my book.
