The difference is with a large enough SD card, you don't have to custom tailor what you have on it. You just throw it all on there and leave it be so it's ready all of the time.
I use desktop gadgets in Windows 7 for system monitoring, application launcher, weather report and volume control and have come to rely upon them heavily. I won't be applying this patch, however I can't help but wonder if MS is sneakily trying to kill off gadgets partly to promote the Windows 8 tiles and start screen.
You miss the point. It's not about needing all of that stuff in a single trip, it's about having specific things available when you want them and not having to constantly juggle data back and forth between the tablet and a PC or internet.
For me, 16GB (more like 12-14GB user accessible) would barely hold two HD movies, at about 5-6GB each. My music library takes up over 120GB and the average "AAA" mobile game is 1-2GB now. A 16GB storage limit doesn't offer a lot of on-the-fly selection.
I nearly pre-ordered one until I noticed it was lacking an SD slot. I would happily pay an extra $50 for a model with one instead of for the 16GB model. Unless/until they offer that, no sale.
Then why does commercial software consistently offer better products than open source projects?
Linux guys don't know shit about what it takes to get software working. If they did, they'd be making and selling commercial software. "Open source" is a way to avoid any kind of quality assurance. It says, "don't complain even if the software is half-assed and broken because it was free".

Where? Podunk? I had 500kbps cable modem internet access back in '98 when I lived in the Bay Area.

I support killing humans. Namely worthless, sky daddy worshiping morons like you.
You sound just like a little kid.
