If M$ & Sony keep undermining trust & squeezing people for every penny then a third option without strings would get alot of interest.

Big problems for mobile devices are more to do with the companies running them than the hardware:

- Google, no privacy & advertising always on.

- Apple, high price, lock-in and DRM excesses.

- M$, high price, no privacy, advertising always on, worthless paywall... etc.

- Sony, high price, DRM via developers

- Steam, ownership issues (DRM covered by lack of laws on non-physical media), downloaded / streaming media an unknown.

- Linux, Firefox, Ubuntu, unknownswith little or no content available.

The current fashion for companies to push SaS is pushing customers away
