That was my question. Why would anyone waste their time doing this?
Sure makes little sence to me. Why encourage
throwing something away that contains batterys
that should be recycled.
Because there is a significant (and demented) percentage of the population that will buy a degradeable Gaia phone.
I figured out the answer to the question why anyone would want to do this. It's the typical leftwing answer: "Because we can."
Enviromentally sound disposable items ... why spend $5 on something you can keep for 10 years when you can spend $25 on something that will last 2 months at most...
