When I see posts like this I can't help but think how f%$@ed a company must be to be so disconnected from their users/customers that they need to pay/get engadget to ask their readers what to do. On one hand it's great to reach out and create a conversation (I use the word loosely here). On the other they end up looking like a big duffus for not being able to extract this info elsewhere, especially when it's not like any of these posts haven't been posted elsewhere on teh internets or communicated to a CSR. Things like this speak to the company lacking the internal organization and processes to capitalize on the knowledge their customers are sending their way. I also find it interesting that half of the posts here basically say "deliver what you've been promising." Seems pretty common sense....
Let's have a look, shall we, and see just how many companies are apparently "f%$@ed" by your assessment: Guitar Hero, Apple, Canon, the Voodoo Envy, Microsoft, Sony, ZeeVee, Nikon, Apple again, Dell, OpenMoko, Sprint, Acer, etc..
Next time, check your "common sense" at the door and do a little investigation. Which, if Sling is paying for this, is what they are doing. You should learn a lesson from them, if that's the case.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.

Why do you presume Sling had anything to do with this post? Engadget has done this kind of thing for many, many products.
mr2kx, there's a reason the tag "how would you change" exists. http://www.engadget.com/tag/how+would+you+change/
