But that is another story ....

Which probably is why they currently released the specs for USB 3.0, and mobile companys decided to use a common micro-USB connector for recharging?

How else do you install new applications? AFAIK, the only way to go without the App-Store on the iPhone was to Jailbreak it, resulting in not only a few "bricked" phones.

Nobody said such a thing. But from the way it was touted as the ultimate internet appliance, I'd at least expect it to be able to have both a browser and a text processor open. If it was possible 10 years ago, on less powerful hardware, why isn't it now?
