If I understand correctly, a lot of the Sport development was outsourced. Sandisk is a hardware company that makes flash memory, not really a software company. They probably have very few engineers to work on firmware.

Perhaps that explains things, at least in part.

My mind keeps on going back to the old and true saying:  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it . . . .
