So $1000 and you get a $128gb gold istick instead of the drastically cheap black or silver option? I would rather buy another 128gb iPad or another 64GB 5S for that. It's obvious they're just trying to capitalize on the gold hype
Ever heard of Box, Dropbox, Cloud mobile, etc... Ignorance is prevalent in our vast technological world, we forget the simple answer is a research away.
The external plug will fail simply for things, made cheap and priced ridiculously that you can just another iPad or iPhone.
if you haven't noticed, this is a usb stick as opposed to cloud technologies as gently described in this video if you care listen a little.
moreover, go ahead and use dropbox in a plane, subway, foreign country, farther lands than just city towns.. or just be a musician and compose on your ipad with several apps and same on your computer with several softwares, and/on the go when you spend a daily 5 hours in a studio with no signal .. when one records on their computer and you wish to go home with what your band recorded
And those are just part of my lifestyle. There a million other examples (photographs, designers) showing why that thing isn't just another cloud competitor, if not at all. If you think they compete with each other, you're simply missing the point here.
So next time you want to call someone ignorant, I suggest you roll that tongue of yours and go do your homework instead
Bonus:
Ever heard of marketing, innovation, conception, ... pride is prevalent in our vast virtual world.
