What proof? Pakedge dealers, that are not C4 dealers, still have access to Pakedge products/support. And, C4 dealers who were not Pakedge dealers immediately had access to Pakedge. No smoking gun there.

As for the rant in post one. Yes, the new endorsed driver sucks...if you want your client to only use one interface. But, you've known about this for months. It should not be that big of a shock this many months later. Native services will likely be added. If that includes Spotify, 99% of the bitching and moaning will cease, right?
