PDF seems pretty useful. Has all the key mappings.

It has all the keymappings yes, but they are not correct, or at least that's not what I'm getting for some of them on my setup on OSX.  I'm going to go over them again today and see what happens.  Some of the other instructions in the manual are strange too, at least when it comes to the OSX end of things.

Also, and this has me very miffed, in the manual they are just pointing us to all kinds of third party software for key remapping.  No mention of the promised and still being advertised software from TE for this purpose.  That is a deal breaker for me if they don't come through with the software as promised and advertised for so long.

No it mentions it (at least the PDF I read this morning). They say its coming, and in the meantime you can try the third party stuff.

Marketing on the TE has been a disaster train wreck, water under the bridge ...

Ok I must have missed that part.

I think the marketing of the TE has been effective, they've had an internet buzz going for 2 years, the name and pictures are everywhere, inserted in all sorts of areas relevant and not. There are several silly, clumsy, and fraudulent aspects (fake reviews) and lack of real presence. Overall he's got it 'out there' very well.

I disagree about 'water under the bridge', I don't believe it's ever ok to blow something with the idea you'll be forgiven later. As a matter of fact, I believe it should be highlighted and clearly illustrated so this unacceptable series of actions are not continued by TE or others.

No matter how good you are does not make up for your weaknesses. Ever.

Redemption shall be on TE's menu.

I agree. It's been a good thing to watch from the sidelines, as in 'never do this'. I made the mistake on a product release once to send it out before it was ready, but watching these guys now I REALLY know not to ever, ever do that kind of product introduction. I've been a TE fan from the beginning (obviously) and even I'm getting disgusted by now ...
