I'm in the same boat. I'd love to have one of these, but the price is pretty high for a recreational gadget.

The reason why idiomatic Java is so verbose is because if you don't write it that way from the start, you wind up painting yourself into a corner because Java doesn't have any way to add flexibility later without breaking things. It's one o

Android doesn't yet support the bluetooth profile you'd need to pair with a keyboard. I hope that full bluetooth support will be in an Android update later this year, but I don't think anything definite has been announced.

I would say that crime is most often a negative sum game. For example, a person pays tens of thousands of dollars getting a lead roof installed. Another person comes along and steals the lead from the roof and sells it as scrap for a few hu

"To boldly go" was used in Star Trek because it sounds better than "to go boldly". Familiarity may have increased that effect, but it certainly didn't create it.
