Statistically speaking, the odds of lightning striking a certain place twice are lower than the odds of lightning striking a certain place once, but after lightning has already struck, the odds of it striking again are identical to the odds of it striking in the first place.
@Steve: That is the best analogy ever. I can't decide if you are serious or mocking the people who seriously think the first half of your post makes sense... :)
Chevy > Could you please explain to me why you think this is good? I own neither device, but have no idea why people seem to think no competition is a great thing.
I assume you are literate enough to know that Apple drops prices and adds copy and paste and the like in response to competition... and naturally the vice versa has kickstarted all sorts of improvements in OTHER phone OSes. This even applies to netbooks -- if you hate Linux, you can still go, 'whew, glad enough people are falling for it for Microsoft to knock $200 dollars off the prices for Windows for netbooks.'
All these sentiments of "hurray, my preferred device will eliminate the competition and gain a monopoly" seem... shortsighted to me. Is there really any reason to desire such an outcome?
If Sprint prices their wholesale bandwidth the same way they do their monthly bandwidth compared to the competition... well, maybe companies will go with a GSM provider if they need that tech. Otherwise, this should work out very well for them.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
