Without apps you essentially have a 500 dollar web browser and media player. I wanted to add "calender manager and email client" but I couldn't.

^^^ This is how corn is made folks ^^^

The Chinese 3rd party accessory manufacturers pay huge money for measurements. The 3rd party case market usually has it right early.

Now you're changing your original argument. Where is the bias in pointing out the truth? Should Giz not point it out simply because it upsets jnemesh from the internet.

Ridiculous assumptions based on things you have absolutely no idea about.
