The great d'yknow... this never occurred to me before. i always sort-of thought it would just be cool (and sensible) to have card-specific extensions / purposes (such as built-in 3G with an antenna sticking out the card end) - it just never occurred to me (it definitely should have) that that would result in potential "lock-in". i always thought, y'know, things like HDMI would be ubiquitous / common enough that you would always be able to find an upgraded computer card with USB-OTG and HDMI: the impact of specialisation at the *user-facing* end never hit my tiny brain :) huh. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
