The current situation is this:
it is much more important for Apple and Samsung to sell overpriced
things to consumers which then basically only will be used to play
games, look on sport games and youtube films.
Fair point.
And in the tropics, it is more important than ever that a device is
sealed, waterproof, has no moving parts, etc. -- to keep it tough.
Cheap & replaceable are more important than convenient and repairable.
What you used the Psion for will only sell about 4
percent of apples
volumes last year....
The screen of the machine i write this on, stands on a sun sparcstation
10.
If i had that machine running well i would be as productive writing
reports on that one as on the asus tower which i now uses.
I know what you mean, and I agree.
I just wish a few more companies thought like Planet Computers and
tried to make devices for rich niches, rather than the cheap mass
market...
