How about decent product information that's easily available???

For example, I recently wanted a large Android tablet, that was cell-capable and NOT LOCKED, so I could use it as a large-format GPS among other tasks.

This was like trying to hunt a unicorn. Apparently detailing that a tablet can take a sim is like admitting the president does heroin or something, that shit's deeply buried. Then discovering who sells said tablet and trying to figure out vendors where it might be unlocked is like trying to get the NSA to come clean on Snowden.

It didn't even have to be a full tablet, a phablet would do. Samsung and co were out, because I didn't want Android that'd been pissed in and stirred with a stick.

Eventually, I went to apple.com where the different iPads are displayed on one goddamn page, with the ability to compare them.

I've never owned an Apple product.

I bought an iPad and I've been deeply disappointed. It was a waste of money, but in the end, Apple has my money and they're happy, at least.

Ads are a necessary evil, even though I block most of them.
