<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 912638, member: 13650&quot;]I would bet that&#039;s coming in a few years.&nbsp; An idea probably already thought of by them, but they can&#039;t release the best stuff initially because they would lose profits.&nbsp;&nbsp; Gotta have people re-submit to get the latest and greatest slab.&nbsp; That requires a new, mundane feature that could have been implemented in the last version!!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I always use the Ipod as a classic example of this logic.&nbsp; The generation 1, the very first, debuted near the end of 2001.&nbsp;&nbsp; Look at all the upgrades it&#039;s went through in less than 8 years!&nbsp; &nbsp; The gen 1&#039;s were so plane jane, they may as well have printed a Model-T on the cover to dress them up!&nbsp; Basically, they sucked.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t even have color options!&nbsp; I mean, come on.&nbsp; Who are we fooling??&nbsp; &nbsp; But, we had nothing better at the time so people paid big money to get the 80&#039;s looking things!&nbsp;&nbsp; The public ate em up.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; You can&#039;t tell me all or most of the features the gen 7s (or whatever we&#039;re up to now), couldn&#039;t have been developed in 2002.&nbsp; &nbsp; Each generation is just a little bit better. </p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a 3rd gen. nano, 8 GB and I&#039;m probably supposed to feel like it&#039;s worn out and obsolete so I should buy a new one.&nbsp;&nbsp; The wife got a 5th and I should probably be jealous.&nbsp; But their marketing hasn&#039;t gotten to me yet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You have to give them credit though, for all the extra revenue they&#039;ve derived from improvements they&#039;ve purposely held back.&nbsp;&nbsp; TPG slabs seem to be no different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
