[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 993523"] Hmm. Strange thing to say. Pretty much everyone who uses the net for anything more than reading has some "storage" or "backup" in the cloud right now. Facebook? Flickr? Your blog? Everything you've written on this forum? I could go on ... "Terrifies"? Really? Again, that seems like a really strange thing for an obviously mac-savvy, web-savvy person to say. In the year 2010, it's a bit like saying "I don't trust electricity." Ah, okay, I think I'm seeing where you're coming from there. This would be a misunderstanding of what type of data we're talking about here. 1. Well, yes there is actually. 2. $29 buys you a USB port *and* an SD port. I'll answer that as soon as you tell me where my personal jetpack, flying rocketcar and home teleportation unit are. :) EXCELLENT point! Just what I was talking about! The lack of copy and paste on the iPhone for almost TWO YEARS did *nothing* to stop it being the most popular smartphone on earth starting on Day One. Apple will implement (feature x) when they figure out a way to make (feature x) AWESOME and not before. You want mediocre solutions now with a vague promise to fix it later that never comes true, you want a Windows pad. Not at all ... the technology exists right now. Indeed, millions of people are using it. [/QUOTE]
