I still don't understand how people can spend so much money on a small device like this. I guess I'm not so much on the move, but to me, $200 is the most I would spend on such device format. I have a $60 Huawei, and yes it's not the best android, but I'll always think that software should be adapted to take less cycles, instead of just having a umpf-ier CPU. HTML is a good example of that. There should be HTML formats that are optimized for smartphones, like preparsed HTML.
Maybe expensive patents will expire soon, which might make smartphones cheaper and cheaper, but still.
- Sir_Vival 11y agoI don't care how small the device is - I use my cell phone a lot every day, and my business depends on it. For a lot of people it's the primary computer, primary communication device, primary camera, etc.
- mrweasel 11y ago>I still don't understand how people can spend so much money on a small device like this I don't think the size is really relevant, but yeah, that's an insane amount of money. If you need it for work, and generally use your phone a lot, it can make sense to pay a premium for a better device, but for the average person, I can't see it being justified. The marked penetration of the iPhone is way to high compared to the price, suggesting to me that to many people are spending their money recklessly.
