No, not at all, I was just trying to explain why there are still seemingly useless ports and such. Not everyone is/can be up to speed, so companies that make things have to take that into consideration.

1) I don't know anyone who doesn't have wifi, hell, in my house we have 2 access points, 5 laptops and 2 PS3s that have wifi. (Both of my sets of grandparents' houses have wifi!)
2) I don't know any phone that doesn't come with a charger. They should just replace the charger with a wireless one.
3) I don't know any phone that comes without headphones (though this is conceivable), it would be a pinch to replace them with bluetooth ones.

Being 'up to speed' doesn't even come in to it.

1) I know lots of people without wifi. Especially people who still use just desktop computers
2) No argument here
3) My phone didnt come with headphones :P

Most devices these days don't have an ethernet port. If you only have a desktop, and you have no phone/other electronics/new devices, then I guess it is conceivable that you may not have wifi.

Mine did. And I am sure they could include bluetooth headphones cheaply, I mean, they cost like $20 in a shop anyway.

It might be better wireless but whatever, it's not that big a deal to me.
USB port? I don't much care! Anything I can do on USB can be accomplished with bluetooth or wifi.
Bluetooth is slower at transfering data, isn't it? It's the reason that good wireless earbuds use clear, isn't it?
Firewire port? On a laptop or tablet? Seriously?!
Don't even know what a firewire port is :C
Headphones port? Bluetooth yo.
I prefer 2 jacks than usb, tbh.
Proprietary port (I'm looking at you, Apple)? WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU DO THIS.
apple sucks, that's why. No further comment.


My latest annoyance is the Kindle and Noteslate, and every tablet. Seriously just sell it to me with a charging mat, and I will be happy.

If everything had no ports, then for devices like the Kindle, Noteslate, and iPad, because they are complete products, they could be completely sealed and watertight. Imagine that, not having to worry about spilling things on your devices.
BUT NOOooooOOOoo, they have to go and put 3.5mm's and USB's and/or power ports on every friggin thing.

I'd not like having to transfer stuff over bluetooth rather than usb, it's much slower.

Also, I don't want to get a big ass pair of headphones when earbuds are much better. I also don't want to fork out 500$ for a pair of wireless earbuds that would still need a headphone jack to work anyway since it uses clear and not bluetooth because clear is better. Also wi-fi is a lot slower than an ethernet cable if you were going to include laptops in your whole rant thing...


edit: I meant kleer instead of clear

Bluetooth allows >20mb/s transfers. More than enough for merely music.
If you need >20 then you can use wifi. Though your device's poor little harddrive will most probably operate fairly slowly so wifi is not even necessary.

Use Wifi rather than USB.
Wifi is faster than USB.

It's a ton more easier to just plug it in to my computer rather than have to set a bunch of stuff up on my phone and computer.

Also, I looked it up bluetooth 3.0 transfers at 24 megabits/s. so bluetooth can transfer at 3 megabytes/s this seems really slowww to me if I wanted to transfer a large file like a movie. Whereas USB 2.0 can transfer at 480Mbps which is 60 megabytes/s which is plenty fast. Obviously this does depend on how fast the device's harddrive is but either way it's faster. The problem with wi-fi is it's a lot harder to set up. I also couldn't find anywhere that says wifi is faster than usb, link
