You bought the 48. No one made you do it. Being readers of c.s.h
you surely heard about versionitis. But no, you couldn't wait.

Well it appears a few of us have and maybe sales are slugging a bit
so they put on an offer to get the steam up. A free $150 piece of
plastic and silicon is not enough to entice me into buying a 48sx.
I would love to have one but won't consider it until the ROMs have
stabilized. My 28s will do until then.

I'm not flaming current owners. I'm trying to tell HP something here.
We don't mind paying for quality -- don't rush it; the 48 was a preme.
Surely competitors are still well behind.
