How's the screen refresh rate? I have an Arch distro on my Pi, used mostly for remoting purposes. RDesktop works really well, but the refresh rate is slow... 1-10 fps in most cases. I was hoping to bump it up to 50-60.

So.....

Why are we paying for ginormously expensive cell phone bills again? With a wifi connection, you can now:

Talk

Text

Send MMS (think Snapchat)

Do everything else smartphone-wise.

I know a few things that might run into issues - you can't take a call while on the road without cell service. GPS would be a no-go. Things like Google Maps and Nike Running wouldn't work.

But aside from that.... what good reasons still exist for having a cell phone bill?
