re: #1 McSpiff
I’m fairly geeky in that I’ve never bought a (desktop) computer, I’ve always built & upgraded them myself, know how to set up my own home network, etc. but mobile devices are a whole other world as far as I’m concerned.
I don’t doubt you can do it successfully if you know your way around, but…meh, I don’t have the time or the patience to learn more new stuff. That, and I would start Jonesing really badly if I had to go without my beloved iPad for even one day.
Oh, and having to re-jailbreak every time a new version of the OS comes out? No thanks.
