I gather you're not an iphone or ipad user. And if you're an android user, I can only assume you don't use an of the mainstream carrier distributed phones - you find something you can cyanogenmod or whatever. And then there's nintendo, and playstation, and etc etc... I agree it stinks, but if you refuse to use products like this, you're confining yourself to a fringe, and you can rest assured there won't be enough people in your group to sway the product offerings of MS & Apple & etc. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
