Live and learn. So you don't need them and you think the rest of the computing world doesn't either. Another great leap on your part.

Znu was talking about this thing, or something just like it, as being a possible desktop replacement, when equipped with external keyboard and monitor.

Look, it's pretty obvious that Apple's game is sell you applications and media. To encourage to to buy your applications and media from them, and not someone else, they have various methods of locking-down their systems. Their desire to do this offsets the additional appeal that the product would gain by having things like USB ports and SD-card slots. Good for Apple, I'm sure. Good for the customer, IMO no, in spite of the existence an the large cult following that has implicate faith that Apple knows what's best for them. >Steve Jobs. He seems to know what's good for you. He seems to know what's good for Apple, which is his job.

It is a revolutionary and magical device touted by your Lord Steve Jobs as being much more than a Kindle.. It does not have a USB port. Or an SD reader. Or Firewire. Or printing capabilities. Is that the "revolutionary" part or the "magical" part? It looks like it's another book reader in color. >but of course, there's no issue there > because it's not filthy apple. you are as transparent as the glass on > the front of the ipad. |
