[edit] Beyond Hacking
Most of this article talks about how the i-Opener can be hacked to operate as a "real" computer; this comment applies even to the sections outside of the Hacking section. But the article really should talk about how the manufacturer intended the i-Opener to be used. In addition to a description of the device itself, this would include a discussion of the subscription dial-up Internet service. Some screen shots would also be nice.
Incredible as it may sound, as of this writing, some people continue to use the i-Opener for their Internet access without having hacked the device; they continue to subscribe to the dial-up service provided by the manufacturer. The final nail is not yet in the coffin! Mark D Hardy 17:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Price
The original price was not $99; if I remember correctly it began selling for $300-$400, the price was cut to $200 (Here's a reference to some advertising which sets the price at $199), and it was only near the end of its life that the price was slashed to $99. 65.102.175.141 (talk) 18:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] References
Someone put a sticky saying the article doesnt site references. It doesnt need to. I found this info out from google searches and different web sites. i did my own research —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.151.133 (talk) 05:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
...which is precisely why you do need to cite your sources. This is not "common knowledge." You did research. You need to do more than tell us it came from The Googles. The entire purpose of citation is to show us exactly where you got your information from, so that we can see it ourselves and know you did not pull it out of a black hole.
This article needs some details. What were the complete specificiations of the original machine? And the "Pizza key?"161.165.196.84 (talk) 21:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
