Who cares.

I mean really. Who cares & what's the point.

I recently bought myself a 8" tablet for some experiments. I've teamed it up with a little keyboard. It tethers to my Phone with its giffgaff sim and it runs ssh, web, has a local filesystem, can view photos, videos and play games.

And for that purpose it's just fine.

I'm not developing on it, I don't want to stunt its graphics, or run its batterys flat with X - it's a user tool, not a development platform.

What am I missing?
