I think what you mean to say is that 'you' can't really use it. I on the other hand will hack and mod the nook to my hearts content in the process finding a way to 'use' the WiFi.

That is why you are you and I am me, and you are not happy and I am.

I also don't think they have under-delivered. The have a device with nice specs ready to ship. Sure there have been slips in projected ship dates, but that's to be expected with a non-tech company branching out into releasing technological devices. In fact I feel that the shipping date hasn't slipped that much at all. If this was a device from Apple or Sony, someone experienced in the fickleness of the consumer electronic market, then I would worry.

I will see the nook as a failure if it never ships, or is completely unusable once I do receive it. Other than that I don't see how I can be unhappy.
