what I think is hysterical is the people who buy one of these bargain-basement tablets and they're like "well this is just as good," then after like a month they go and buy an ipad after all

johndis posted:i think the whole point of this thread is that these arent really bargain basement, theyre more/equally expensive I was thinking about these less-than-100 dollar things you can buy where it takes like 30 seconds to pull up the settings menu but yes the other tablets in this thread are also terrible and no one will buy them I remember I once convinced myself a Rio Karma would be better than an iPod... never again

i googled Rio Karma for old times' sake and I found that people are actually modifying them with 128 GB solid state hard drives rather than upgrading to a new MP3 player

Janin posted:Yes; it seems your main objection to buying a real phone is 1) more expensive than the cheap ones and 2) you need an internet connection to order it. Considering how we're communicating, #2 is obviously not a problem. just buy this $500 phone sight unseen, it's better than the other ones, I promise

Why not just have some sort of independent curator who will work to sift through it all rather than just publishers. people would use a service like that or else reviews or whatever else. it's not like no one is publishing poo poo now, or like most buyers would like to read most books.

Wood Warder posted:I think so. I keep hearing that the best selling mp3 players usually only have 16gb to 32gb of storage in them so it probably wasn't worth the production cost. drat, that blows but then again the service on ipods is so good why would you buy anything else. "hm... seems to have broken. no proof of purchase whatsoever? ok i will just exchange this with a brand new one for you"
