"Many of us" refering to what? A hundred people on here? The maybe 50.000 (if that) people who bought one of the completely non-marketed 770/N800/N810?
Compared to millions of iPhone/5800/G1/BB Storm users?
Elaborate, please.

Yeah, and a lot of potential customers don't wear shirts 24/7.

Yeah, try selling a belt clip that to any person under 35 or even 40, so that they can actually carry that tablet around. They'll likely smile politely and ask for something else.

You can't sell a device that is supposed to be part of your daily life without making it sexy - and a belt clip or pouch or whatever pretty much kills whatever desirable design the device has to offer otherwise.

Really, that suggestion alone is amusing. I'm 24, and let me tell you, you're a bit out of touch with what younger people with money to spend want.

So, in a forum full of people who cry "FOUL" over any tiny little change, you accuse me of closed-mindedness? That's really just rich, my friend. I could say the very same thing about you, for that matter.
