As part of an attempt to research more single-use devices (as a way to help focus attention and reduce distractions), I recently learned that there are a variety of interesting e-ink tablets and phones sold by companies like Boox. I’m starting to realize that there are really compelling alternatives on the market that offer different kinds of value than Apple’s visionless product line.
l’ve postured in the past about replacing my Apple products, but for the fist time I’m starting to feel comfortable with the prospect of doing with really interesting and different devices. My iphone is still pretty new, but my ipad (which i use a lot) is probably due for retirement this year. This latest cowardice from Apple may have just pushed me put of the walled garden for good.
