I merely stated the fact that noone forced you to buy it, I did not imply that you had said that anyone were forcing you to buy it. You were however sounding like this ment the end for a platform (for you) while I don't see a reason why it needs to be so. This seems to be a product unrelated to your tablet upgrade plan. When iPple created the iPod touch, it didn't mean people had to give up on their iPhones. It may even be that not all iPhone owners bought an iPod touch.
