lol thx. I wonder why the screen is vertical? I suppose it’s skeuomorphism, trying to mimic the dimensions of paper. But that still doesn’t make sense to me. Because it’s for browser and email only, not word processing 🤔

right?? it’s now being assumed that you purchase something to own it temporarily- there’s never any lifetime purchases anymore :(

lol I was thinking the same thing 😆 Now devices are released all the time, and require apps that stop being supported etc. and no one refunds any of that

they don’t do refunds like this anymore

Yeah! It said $499usd for the device, and $21.95 per month for the subscription

the design is great. I’m sure they were expensive in ‘01
