Well, it seems so far that most people are generally happy with their TI. Perhaps, the situation from afar seems so drastic because of the TI not being fully functionally after a year delay and maybe a mixture of a bad batch going out. This seems to the case for me anyways. But I got it all worked out with GC now. I'm able to hold on to my unit until a new one comes in and then I can just swap it out. I do think Access should create their own 'official' site though instead of using this as a de facto source for communications with us beta testers.
I think things will eventually get worked out...it is software in a box after all for most part. So unless it's some hardware component, such as the chipsets or some other component, then it can and will most definitely be worked out. Thanks to Ben and Marc for doing what they can right now.
