In many countries such as India and throughout asia people have never used a landline. Think about this for a second. Everyone carries around cell phones because they simply leapfrogged the infrastructure requirement for land lines.

A tablet like this is certainly going to change things. How cheap are cell phones these days? I'm not talking about that fancy iPhone you have in your pocket. I am talking about how much it costs to go into MetroPCS and grab a phone off the shelf. Or possibly WalMart.

If you thought we were connected as a world before things are about to drastically change even more.
