    Use an industry-standard USB cable for charging AND data transfer without having to resort to proprietary cabling?

    Replace the battery?

    Upgrade the memory?

    Access the data onboard using "mass storage" (like USB memory stick) in the operating system of your choice without the need for proprietary software?
