Our lives are full of devices that <i>could</i> be general purpose, but were made more specialized for ease of use, maintenance, battery life, or w/e.<p>I don't understand why so many people are getting their panties in a knot because somebody is selling another non-general-use device with a processor.<p>And I know that hyperbolic rhetoric is fun, but let's be realistic.  This is <i>not</i> undermining constructivist education, free culture, decentralized power or open systems in any meaningful way.  If you really think it's accomplishing all that, go take your medication.
