*ahem*
Case comes with free global Internet access for the life of the device so you can use it to execute transactions all over the world.
How "free", and how long do the manufacturers expect these things to last? There's some serious missing detail in that part of this particular deal.
The company baked lifetime GSM access into the $200 cost.
That just doesn't sound plausible to me. Maybe there's a way to make that practical, but it sounds like there's information missing still.
It's a lot less bandwidth than the first generation kindles were giving away for free, for life. They use 1g or something like that, and only to sign transactions - I'm sure a good will is all they really need from cell phone companies. Maybe 1GB for the entire life of the device.
I'd forgotten about those, but I did hear about that deal when Kindles were more trendy, and remember being skeptical about that too. Maybe it can be done... I just can't shake the feeling that you might end up with an expensive doorstop quicker than you bargained for.
Any Kindle users out there that can add anything?
True, but between a Case and a Antminer, I'd say the Antminer will become a doorstop long before a Case will!
