What good are these devices with Internet turned off? The unfortunate trend is that their manufacturers assume that you're constantly connected. Most Android devices require a Google account before you can do anything meaningful with them. Windows 8 makes it incredibly difficult not to create an Online account with Microsoft before you can use it. Apple? Ever tried installing anything without having an iTunes account? No - it's not getting any easier without Internet.
