They're always more closed, less feature-rich, etc. than they competitors. Take Kindle, for example... Can someone explain what's so good about them? I'm just trying to understand; maybe I'm missing something?[/citation]
Well, as far as the basic Kindle goes, the e-ink they use is incredible. It honestly is like reading a book as far as quality goes. And because it only needs power when the screen is refreshed, you go literally weeks on a single charge.
Yes, it may not do everything a typical tablet can, but there is one thing I personally have discovered in my own experiences. Things that do a lot of things rarely do one thing very well. The point of the Kindle was to make e-books commonplace. I was relunctant to buy one at first and didn't get one till their ad supported ones came out, but I can't imagine not having it now.
So before you turn your nose up at something because it doesn't do a lot, take a look at something and see if what it does do, it does it well.
