Again, I strongly disagree, pointing not only to Wi-Fi, but also to
Bluetooth. The advantage of not needing cables is huge. As I write
this, I'm listening to a podcast over Bluetooth. Earlier I was using
Bluetooth to connect through Wi-Fi to the Internet. Before that I was
using a Bluetooth headset with my cell phone. All without cables.
Wonderful! You can have the cables. I use them mostly for charging,
and for that my preference is mini-USB.
