If the iPad is just a giant version of the iPod Touch.... Wouldn't an iPad Mini just be.... an iPod Touch?

The Public Is Growing Weary of Popular Technology

Facebook and Apple have been at the top of their respective games for some time now, but what goes up must come down. When we polled the public on the two companies, we found that most people were less than thrilled about the brands' future. Call it tech fatigue, or a simple need for change. Like gravity, the mysterious force of public opinion is making it difficult for popular companies to retain their audience. Facebook has been fighting it for a while, but even Apple could fall if it's not careful to keep up with public interest.

Same with the Hubble Space Telescope & the Space Program. Most folks now yawn at the pictures from the HST because it's been up there for 20 years now.
Folly (& unhealthy) to have constant excitement 24/7/365¼.
The newer phones are more powerful, and younger people are using them. The skulls of children and teens are thinner than adults, so they will be particularly susceptible..
The combination of more powerful phones and thinner skulls could result in a disaster 10 years from now.
EMI can possibly 'wiggle' particular organic molecules
that are either in the brain or energy drinks.
Don't count anything out until You're absolutely certain.
Check out the "God Helmet" &/or "Brainstorm".

Well, all that texting should protect their brains some. Texting while driving doesn't reduce the risk to the brain from using the phone, which they do once the school day is over.
Skull thickness does offer some measure of protection but adults are getting brain tumors at higher rates, too, especially on the side where they listen.

in case you are too lazy to read it, since apparently you are also too lazy to actually look stuff up, I will go ahead and quote some things for you
"Studies thus far have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, or other tissues of the head or neck..."
"...although many studies have examined the potential health effects of non-ionizing radiation from radar, microwave ovens, and other sources, there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk"
"The only known biological effect of radiofrequency energy is heating. The ability of microwave ovens to heat food is one example of this effect of radiofrequency energy. Radiofrequency exposure from cell phone use does cause heating; however, it is not sufficient to measurably increase body temperature."
"Although there have been some concerns that radiofrequency energy from cell phones held closely to the head may affect the brain and other tissues, to date there is no evidence from studies of cells, animals, or humans that radiofrequency energy can cause cancer."

"It is generally accepted that damage to DNA is necessary for cancer to develop. However, radiofrequency energy, unlike ionizing radiation, does not cause DNA damage in cells, and it has not been found to cause cancer in animals or to enhance the cancer-causing effects of known chemical carcinogens in animals"
"Brain cancer incidence and mortality (death) rates have changed little in the past decade."
Please also read chapter 6 of that article where it lists all the major reputable organizations for cancer, communications and even the FDA and all of them state that the evidence is inconclusive at best.
Hopefully that will enlighten you on the subject, but more than likely you will just dismiss it all and cling on to some non-sensible argument as to why you have to be right, even though real evidence says otherwise. If you don't do that and actually see it the way it really is then I would be amazed as almost no human has that ability.

Secondly the notion that DNA damage is a requirement for creating cancer is widely held by 99% of the research community - the same community that is clueless about what cancer is or how to treat it! Part of their cluelessness is the damaged DNA theory. So that throws out that premise.
IOW, although they call themselves experts, they are anything but experts because they don't know what a true cancer cell is. Their focus on DNA is so far off base, they are in another ballpark.
All it takes to produce cancer is to affect the physical structure on one hydrogen atom on a fatty acid. That is not DNA damage, so they are looking in the wrong place. The change in structure blocks oxygen transfer which allows cancer cells to turn themselves on. Cancer cells are normal cells. But they stay dormant unless they are provided an ideal environment.
The overall incidence brain cancer is up despite the short period of time cell phones have been in use. Where it is up mostly is in young adults which makes sense since they had thinner skulls as teens.

Ten years is a short period of time, we are only at the beginning. In recent years the phones have become much more powerful and more teens have them. So we can expect an even higher incidence ten years from now, especially among young adults because those teens will have become adults by then.

all the industries say cancer is abnormal cells growing abnormally fast. Please tell me what institute(s) back your claim of cells lying dormant til they have an ideal environment.
