IMO it's just a battery waste... We don't have 100Mbit internet connections yet, so the only use for it would be file transfer, which would still be faster over USB.



You SHOULD have to have root user permissions to modify the system files. I don't see any mention in the post though.
I just wanted it because I was forced not to have it. I don't like the idea of something I buy being capable of so much more and being told I'm not allowed.
