Purpose

Dual Core A5 Chip. What the hell does that mean? I'm in electronics and we talk about these things as if they matter. 1500 more colours. I can't tell that many apart. 15 gig ram. What are you going to do with that?  Word processing? Fully digitised optronoscopy. I don't even know what that means.

Somewhere along the line we've forgotten what we're buying. We've forgotten it's just images and sounds. 10MB/s downloads. What are you gonna do? Browse Facebook faster? The words have become meaningless. Abstracted. They no longer align with our experience.

I'd like to see what the actual differences are. Not just the fancy names for things I don't need.
