Or you get a friend to hack it for you. I did that to a friend's NC.
My warranty is STILL intact! All I need to do before sending it back for warranty work is to undo the root. That's not rocket science.
What compromises? I'm quite happy watching videos on a 7" display. Who are you to say otherwise.
What ecosystem? If you read my post, then you should note that the ONLY part of anyone's ecosystem I use is the appstore.
Cutting off access to Google or Amazon is a big if. There's no indication at this time that either company would do it, so it's totally irrelevant to this discussion.
