I take it you've never been on the breadline then? There have been times in my life when £5 has been a lot of money, when taking a 2hr walk (each way) to work for the first week, was the only option. It might not seem much, but then if they do buy it, what next? There is no starbucks in their neighbourhood, the library is two buses away, and none of your neighbours have wifi, or are happy to share it with you. Plus if you are living a chaotic life, keeping hold of something like this, keeping it secure, dry and charged can be a mission in itself. And when times are hard what is going to be the easiest way to get some money (for bus fare to that job)... So yes, if you are in the right location, with the time and means to get to an open wifi connection, and have the spare money to buy a tool like this, then awesome. But a lot of people aren't.
