That reason is actually the lack of wireless internet access. What this means is the lack of temptation to go online with it and surf the web, rather than spending more time reading books. I already spend too much time online and not enough reading books, so hopefully when my Pocket Pro arrives, I'll be able to at least partially reverse that trend.

Dear tmclough:
That has been very eye opening from the start for Astak. SO many people love non-wireless. Unfortunately, reviewers LOVE wireless. I have actually had reviewers rate the device lower because "no wireless". I keep telling them that there are two groups... people who want it and people who do not. Not having wireless is NOT a defect... it is a choice. So many on here want non-wireless as they love the fact that their computer is their back-up for a lost SD card or a loss of their Pocket PRO (God forbid).
In the future, Astak will roll out wireless devices (likely the first will be in a few months and will be Wi-Fi). BUT... again, it is to offer a choice! I just really get irritated with reviewers that do think "if it ain't wireless... it ain't any good".
Stop lurking and start posting more!! We love you here!
