    None of them are "fashionable" though.

    Of course they're fashionable - for guys of your type. Frock coats, breeches, codpieces, they're no longer fashionable, but once were.

    My fashion choice, as you style it, is to be different from people who want the latest shiny thing because it is shiny

    And what you reveal with that statement is that YOU are the one that cares what devices look like ad YOU are the one who's choice is overwhelmingly about what other people think of you. You can only think that other people are like you and are buying those devices by their looks (shiny) and because of what other people will think of them.

    In reality most people are far less influenced by fashion than you are. And i* devices are being bought because people see that they can do a lot with them, and yet they are easy and pleasant to use.
