The Pronto NG has so much potential as its a perfect stepping stone from the 1st generation B&W models but if Philips is going to make all the same mistakes AGAIN as it did with the original models then they deserve to be criticised AGAIN on this forum.

In my opinion, Stewart Allen's Tonto software has shown that the Pronto (and related models) can be supported well. I can't believe that Philips are dragging their heels with this - the Pronto depends on good software support and they appear to employ a very poor bunch of software engineers to write the editor applications. Amazing really, given Philips' market and size.

Come on Philips, get it sorted. Most of the bugs are just silly little things that COULD and SHOULD have been ironed out quickly, and it looks like you've fumbled the ball again. Once more, it seems Pronto owners are destined to be let down by the software support - shame, because the hardware is great.

Over to you, Stewart, any sign of TontoNG?? ;-)
