Well they're not assumptions; they're based on years of observation of what real people do in the real world. And yes, of course we're talking about selling to people who can afford it, though the more that are sold the more the cost comes down and the more that sell and........

If you've ever tried to manage a bundle of papers, or a laptop (or even a notebook bigger than A6) on a windy building site roof, the benefits over paper become obvious!

However, the thing isn't being marketed (here) like that at all (yet?), probably because of the price.. which is a real shame.
And so we come full circle - that's exactly my point! It's not being marketed or developed for those uses anywhere, but it should be!!!!!!!!!!! That (paper replacement), if properly developed, is what the hardware is crying out to be used for!!
