See? Apple thinks they can patent fire and radio, but — PRIOR ART!!!! Android has had fire and radio since the start, so suck it, Apple!

There was a great documentary about Tupperware and Brownie Wise a few years ago on PBS. Sounds boring at first, but it's a great story. I think it's out on DVD.

Sure. When Apple's doing it, it's all *How dare they tell me what I can do with my device?!!!" (Not that they've ever limited memory in this way.) But when B&N is doing it, it's "Who cares?"

Ummm... because it doesn't? Or, because it isn't Gizmodo's job to twist every article to please the anti-Apple folks?

They never stopped offering DVD-only plans. This article is very strange.

I sense your paranoia.

The article implies that people don't owe sales tax on internet purchases in most states, and that's simply not true. If you live in a place that has sales tax, you already owe the tax. The problem is that no one pays it.

Almost none of the potential customers for this device will care about the specs. I said this to someone else already, but the tech geeks here are not the target for this. The only value you see in a gadget is in the hardware specs, and that's not the way the rest of the world works. Near worthless to you, but want…

Had you read the article, you would have seen that they admit it's a mockup.

Please read the "Nerds" paragraph again. There's a message in there for you.

More click bait to draw Apple haters. The only thing that matters is if the court says the evidence has been manipulated. Does it?

Typical Jobs BS. A little company tries to stand up for their rights, and Apple starts playing the 800 lb. gorilla and telling everyone else how to live. They'll never stop trying to control how the rest of the world operates. Such arrogance.

Completely useless. Why would anyone want this, when it can't run the programs I need like a full OS? It's arrogant of them to tell me I can't install applications. How dare they limit my — oh, wait. This has Google software, not Apple? Never mind.

@Mike Kelly:

Those arrogant, fascist porn merchants!!! How dare they tell me what technologies I can and can't — wait, what's that again? You say we only do this when it's about Steve Jobs? Oh, I see. I'll stop now.
