I don't understand why these devices seem to require you to have a contract with some damn phone company. Why can't I just buy one to use as a tablet computer? I think I can buy an iPad without a contract, right? Or am I missing something?

Actually, I think I saw that the Motorola Zoom can be bought without a contract for something like $800. Who's kidding who here?
