And that's true for any desktop or laptop as well. It doesn't make them dumb terminals either.
- Retric 9y agoYou can still buy CDs / DVDs and load them on a PC. It's possible you could jury-rig something up for a tablet, but it's also clear the intended use is as a networked device.

- Retric 9y agoGamestop does not sell games on SD cards for those tablets. So, somewhere between 99.99% and 100% of the time that's not what happens. PS: iPhones and iPads don't have SD slots so for millions of these devices that do qualify as phones and tables it's really not an option.
