So sad, R.I.P. Pilot..
Best Buy has let their Insignia dap line dwindle to a single Kix player. It looked hopeful for a while when the touch screen Pilot showed up but then it quickly disappeared. I choose to blame Best Buy for no other reason than I have never liked the Best Buy experience. I have three Pilots which should keep me going for a while or until something with as much functionality and reliability materializes. I've always seen the Pilot as what would have been designed by the creators of the Karma and Carbon had Rio not gone out of business. The Rio crew probavbly would have made it a little more polished in terms of hardware but the functionality of the Pilot can't be beat. RIP Pilot. May the engineers that created you be blessed by the dap gods and keep you employed and prosperous.
