I can hear you. There's certainly brain power going to waste. And with the "russification" that's really a step forward. Allthough it's "brought to you" by people like you and me (maybe with some more programming knowledge) and not by Sony.
But all I have seen so far from Sony was bugfixing for the reader (once on the 505) and some more copyright protecting mechanisms on the PSP and the likes. I think I wrote this somewhere else before, but for the big companies, it's about making profit, not making the customer "really, really" happy. Just "a little" happy so he is willing to buy the next product which in turn creates a little more happiness and more profit. (sorry, I don't want to sound sarcastic, but I work for a big company, too).
Kinda funny. I never used it but I made a radio ham license about 16 years ago because I wanted one
