But isn't that exactly the point? Why is it the job of the consumer to fix all the things that should have been working to begin with? I don't buy a car with the expectation of having to modify the engine if I want to drive more than four blocks at a time.
We're at an advantage because we know how to fix these things. But the average person trying to use their Axim day-to-day isn't going to read posts on how to modify settings to keep ActiveSync from sucking the battery, or how to change registry settings so the stupid OS can recognize CF cards.
When you buy something, there is an assumption of trust on the part of the seller that the product works as advertised. Microsoft has trained us to accept half-baked products as part of life. And we've all bought into it.
