Well, It has been released this year, for one. Also, the #1 Droid, was released just over a month ago. About the same time B&N announced nook.

So considering the timing, it seems like they are rating the hype.

I read Pogue’s review, too. I checked out one of the Demo’s in-store. It seems to run fine. It’s a good thing this device is available to try out so people can see for themselves before they buy. He’s entitled to his opinion.
