They want to get as much content as possible onto the iOS platform (and ideally exclusive to the platform), because that enhances its value, and will let them sell more hardware. This is important even if they don't actually make much money selling the content. |

Sorry for the rant, just a burn point with me. As for fanboyism as a whole, it amounts to digital **** measuring. Every consumer has a right to prefer a brand or product of their choosing. My preference is for whatever works for me at the time. I carry an iPhone 4 and a Htc Sensation. Both have pros and cons and I can debate both for days if that thread were to appear. https://www2.mobileread.com/i/smiliesadd1/drinks.gif |

And, FWIW, even if there are physical limits to what little speakers can do, there are many other "lifestyle" speakers that look better and produce a far superior sound, probably for a lot less money. Last edited by AdrianM; 09-09-2011 at 04:22 PM. |

Just had to put my two cents in since this thread has gone off topic... Anyway, I plan on keeping my Kindle 3 a long time. It does exactly what I want it to do. The only thing I would get a tablet for is to watch movies in bed. Not worth spending my money on... |

Let's all hold hands and agree that Bose sucks.

This has been a very enjoyable discussion. Can't wait to see the thread following Amazon's release. We'll be able to knit a sweater out of it.
