I'll make a stab at it

Who are these ppl?? And why do we need convergence? I have a cheapo ad-roid Tracfone. I've never even signed up with Gobble, so have no connection with those ppl or their lame apps/storage/mail. Also, due to the ever increasing vulnerability of ad-roid platforms, I've turned off any data ability. Still, my cheapo (discontinued!) Tracfone has wifi, which allows me to "pair" with my stupid (Roku) TV. I cannot "dock"(?) with my desktop PC from my cellphone and I'm not sure I want to. The only access I want is to ssh from my cellphone to my desktop, like an old Nokia. Without wifi, I cannot. So, why is Canon-fodder trying to make all hardware interlinked before they even provide interconnectivity? Do they plan on installing a CAT5 jack on their Touch cellphones? Are these folks really so stupid or is it merely a planned oversight to lure service providers with a possible income stream? |

I think I'm seeing your point notbob. As far as I'm concerned everything useful can be done over an ssh pipe. I have no need for any special purpose "dumbed down" interfaces. The Microsofties need pretty icons to click on, all I want is a big pipe and a cli. My custom tailored scripts can take it from there. |

Thank you fer mending my thread title, LXer admins. I started with a working title ("I'll make a stab at it"??), but it somehow got deleted when I was "Preview"-ing my article. ;) |
