Absolutely. The most glaring omissions are all interconnectivity
related. The clip 'n go package is a nice addition, but it does
little for anyone who needs the ability to quickly download multiple
files for later use. Cripes even Sharp has Excel and Word compatibility.
(this is not meant to diminish the well appreciated efforts of those
developing solutions (gdbio, gcbcon etc.))

I would defintely wait for the new version or at leasttake a look, no reason to
be inufriated though, they have to do it sometime and thats why
stores have return policies. ;)
