First of all don't tell me what I need to buy, I know my own needs better
than you.
==========================================
You apparently want/need something that isn't on the market
(and may or may not have enough demand for someone to
make it & actually make $ on it -- try some market research!)
Either the new devices (from whatever vendors, using whatever OS, etc.)
will or won't meet your exact specs (or will be "outrageously priced") &
like most of us you will probably just have to compromise somewhere
about something.
There are things I'd like devices to do too -- I'd *really* like Bones's
medical tricorder, it certainly beats spending hours under assorted scanning
machinery playing corpse (for anything from 20sec to 45min at a time) -- but
I cope with what *is* available and cheer the advances I've seen just in the
past few years. (I was so happy when the touch-screen came along -- I never
did quite get the hang of the click-wheel.)
I recognize your total superiority about computers & operating systems but
unless & until you actually *do* something about getting the
exact-specs-device-you-want made (try Kickstarter!) am not particularly
interested in your snarky rants or impressed by your bombast. Me, I'm just a
backward non-skyper (I have a hardware block on my laptop computer cam)
who doesn't remote-in to anywhere, doesn't do fancy messaging sessions,
I don't even do Netflix! (I do sometimes use AppleTV for Airplay or Youtube)
I'm looking forward to whatever is announced about the iPad3 (or whatever
they call it, whenever), the excitement over whatever is new about it (and
the "why isn't it more better" comments), and the reams of complaints about
why they didn't include <pick your favorite "why didn't they..."> since,
well, after all, it would be "so easy" (& presumably cost-free as well.)
It should be a highly entertaining discussion (for a while, anyway.)
