Pandigital, until a few weeks ago, made digital picture frames. This device is a very ambitious attempt to use their knowledge, hardware, and distribution network to do something considerably different. If your teachers, professors and parents called you a "a complete and utter failure" every time you reached farther than your grasp, where would you be? It's a little slow between applications, though not much more so than everything else out there. It is not slow, comparatively, in applications. It connects to wifi - almost flawlessly for me. It has a good ereader, and a good music viewer. The video works, but lacks versatility. My experience is not the same as yours - my PDN is more responsive than any Eken I have seen. I think it is hyperbolic to call it "a complete and utter failure." At the same price as an M001, it is far better than an M001.Pandigital didn't "lie." They didn't deliver... yet. You people are taking what minimum wage retail people and beleaguered customer service people are telling you to get you out of their face as gospel. Pandigital wasn't incoherent either - Pandigital has not done a press release to say when the re-release will be. In my communications they haven't mentioned any new release date. Their website merely says "coming soon." How much worse would it be if they left the thing out there and less-sophisticated users had to muddle through numerous firmware updates? As far as I'm concerned, Pandigital has taken the high road here. Meanwhile, I don't think the device was so bad, and I use it every single day.I like it, you don't. Neither is right, but you're not intellectually honest in your criticism, in my opinion. You "used it extensively on a vacation" and then sold it .. did you make money on it? The thing is billed as an ereader, not the Ipad. It does that. It says it can connect to wifi. It does that. It says it can play video, and music, and it does both. The alarm clock works. The calendar works. Other than the fact that my computer doesn't have a generic android driver, which annoys me, it does everything it's supposed to except landscape mode. For less than $100 with a gift card, I almost stole the thing. The fact that it will get better amuses the hell out of me.
