The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

They have offered nothing better as an alternative

The alternative is to use the existing wireless technologies. They work. Adoption was slow because it could be. Bluetooth sucks because nobody used it. You could also argue the reverse of that. Anyway, maybe now Bluetooth will get better?

They've removed a large part from the device, closed a huge hole in the case... I think those are good things.

I guess, as a borderline audiophile, i'll always be against wireless. So, admittedly, there's that part of my resistance to this idea. Wireless technologies will always, inherently, have interference. There's a reason why you plug in all of your devices to your router rather than use WiFi (for those that matter anyway, PS4, Xbox etc), and plenty of advancements have been made there.

You're right though, eventually it will all move away from the 3.5MM port. I just think it was too early and for no real reason, really, then to make the fucking phone thinner. Which is dumb.
