There aren't that many people who are going to want to repeatedly shell out $600 for a phone that they lose or break in a year. It's about price points not about the phones. People will spend "X" dollars and give or take, no more. That translates in about $250 as the top end of the price scale people are generally willing to spend.
I don't practice particularly careful practices with my phone AT ALL, installing and uninstalling things all the time, etc etc and at most, at the absolute most, I've seen one chunk of malware. The real problem is not malware it's the permissions you grant the legitimate stuff you put on. WHY, does such and such game or widget need my phone book, email address book, call log browser history and location db? That's the problem right there.
The only thing more consistent than their cheapness is corporations' anal retentive micro management. They will require you to supply your own devices (from an approved list of course) and then they will proceed to burden it with so much management, security, asset and tracking software as to render it useless. Which will then drive up the hardware requirements even more until they require you to own massively overpowered devices and enormous cost. Employees will balk - first in one's and two's then in waves and the whole thing blows up in everyone's face.
Our sysadmins use 4 core latest and greatest 8GB laptops. Minimum. And with that, they're barely serviceable.
Because over here in the real world, no 'one' will ever be capable of making the trip. Hawking is wrong, it wouldn't be Columbus coming to the new world, it would be Columbus sailing to the moon, and that is simply never going to occur.
Chief psychotic warlord among lesser warlords who, once they're done stealing whatever they can steal, leave under threat of death. Eventually MS will implode.
Go the Google route in reverse and call your operating system a browser. You'll need a new name for 'browser' though. I suggest Microsoft "Space" the Next Generation of Surface.
Please please please please make your website even slower and clunkier with even more lag and stutter and weird formatting that barely runs on a high end machine w/o making the viewer wonder if it's going to crash. I beg of you. Because there's nothing and I mean nothing like the smell of Reed Hastings backed by Hedge Fund Money to crap all over their customers with Marie Antoinette indifference to make me want to run outside and shoot everyone in the neighborhood.
Today there's an Apple fanboi sponsored article that screams that 99% of all malware is from Android. If you parse that you'll discover that most of it is PRECISELY this sort of thing which users will download and start hammering away like a crackpipe even when you tell them what it does to their personal info. Which btw iPhone apps do too. But we don't want to talk about that......
People are stupid and we need to start beating them half to death with their phones.
There's several trillion with a T dollars flowing through electronic systems every hour all over the world. I suspect there's a carrying cost of 'making' that. Are these tools suggesting we end all electronic trading systems and revert to what? Pebbles? Ruuuuhhhhhhhtards.
We need a MINIMUM of a quad core 8GB machines just to run some basic business type apps what with the scanners, agents, asset checkers, license checkers, security tools, encryption, VPN, Url filters, DLP and virtual engines. And since everything is written against some weird ass one off back level and DIFFERENT Java, we have to run a bunch of different Javas too. And half our web apps don't run in FF only IE, so.....both.

Who thought that one up?
Seriously. Isn't this more or less the same thing?

Works acceptably well so far. Old isn't always terrible.

Having a say is overrated.

Nah. After all where do you think Democratic voters come from? They can't all be illegal Mexicans.
Require and need are different things
You'd still need a scouting party with survival gear and a week's rations to find a drive if you had to replace it.

Do you need a GED to stack topsoil bags at Home Depot or lay roofing tiles? Do you need a GED to mash the chicken shaped button on the cash register.

All the features in the world don't matter when you have typically horrible service. Or at least a feature that allows me to nuke Sprint.
