But still on a zero feedback must be better delusion apparently.
What I don't get is why they need to put 128GB into it if it can use memory
cards? Apple has fixed memory so they can charge ten times the price for it,
but frankly I'd be happier if all such devices came with nothing but an SD
or uSD slot.
