My $9 cell phone is the most technological device I own.

Ah but don't forget, most cellphones run on GNU/Linux and have more power than a computer from 2002.

Dude, my cheapo cell phone has way more smart technology over the computer program I use daily at my federal engineering job.

My statement stands...

I almost got one of those Ipads when they came out, but couldn't find a usb port nor micro sd slot. They lock you in. Even Android is meh. I would really love some Canonical Ice Cream aka Ubuntu for Android, but that still seems a ways off.

There's an add on kit that gives you USB and SD. I keep it in my shaving kit because the only time I use it is on the road to dump the contents of the camera for easier viewing.

I'm really disappointed Google left out a microsd slot on the Nexus 7. Still going to be a great tablet for $200, but just doesn't jump out to me now. Maybe Microsoft will do something good with the Surface tablet they have planned.

I'm on it now. I dropped a business card in a fish bowl at a conference and the nice people sent me an iPad 2 about two months later. It is rather slow and tedious for entering content, but works just fine here and for watching WSBK and MotoGP while I'm making the kids' lunches.

Funny video anyway.
