If these companies (manufacturers and providers) keep removing local storage from devices to force you into the cloud and then severely restrict your bandwidth; I'm going to rebel and go old school.

I'm going on vacation next month and wanted to take a tablet to watch videos. I passed on the Nexus 7 because it didn't have a card slot. I doubt there'll be any new quad-core 7" tablets with card slots at $199 by then. So, I plan to take my old DVD player and a bunch of DVDs. It's bulky and not as convenient as a tablet, but it works.
Verizon is my cell. Charter is my ISP. Verizon did away unlimited plans and now have shared data plans. I think it's $80 for a measly 2GB and talk+text. then $15 a GB on overage. This is insane in the world of streaming. 2GB is used up in no time.
