Excellent points. I really like your reinterpretation as &quot;a zero price tag is...subsidized with something else...The cost is lock-in.&quot; It is definitely more accurate with respect to Google Inc. Though to my ears it sounds like a more generalized version of &quot;if you are not paying for it, you are the product.&quot; But don&#x27;t we almost always think of Google when quoting this line anyway?<p>Android has bad IMAP support -- is this a limitation of Android, or of IMAP? (are there push notifications for iOS?) IMAP has been a thorn in my side for ever, but I assumed that was the fault of an old outdated protocol?
