An e-reader running a modern version of Android from an OEM like Google, Samsung, Nokia, etc. I read exclusively using Play Books. I know some exist out there like Onyx Boox, but until they make strides to stay in compliance with the GPL2 they won’t get a dime from me.
Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in...
90s-2000s approach to services. It was nearly impossible to cancel subscription services. Magazines, newspapers, cable TV, mobile and landline phones, etc.

What is the device you want, but that does not exist?
