I agree, unless the microphone is a big deal go with the color and save some cash. The color can now accept the netflix app, although resolution will be lower.

There is some reason to believe it may be more difficult to root. Requiring the boot include a BN license was one of the barriers to apps like netflix. Some feel easily rooted devices make piracy...

I may have cast a false vote. I voted I read every word. Now that I have read the posts, I guess not. If I don't like a book I sometimes abandon it. I read every word up to that point, but if 1/2...

I think you nailed it. The gouging to read non ad books would force everyone to read books with ads, in the long run no consumer benefit, just a less attractive product. Besides ads in books would...

I have unfortunately discovered that that so few people I know read, and the few who do read in a very narrow range of genre's. So for me this discussion still boils down to this. Does the current...

I only remember one book I really disliked, 1919, John Dos Passos, I believe. Before college teachers rarely choose the books assigned. They pick from an approved list. One of the issues is schools...

What apple has always sold is style, interface, and integration. There is nothing wrong with that. Just like PC's tech savy types learn how to obtain the same or better products for less coin. I love...
