3. Charger If the charger was a proprietary charger then it would only fit that companies specific device. This would be good because then the company would make more money as people would have to buy the charger from the company. Also the product quality would be better as it would only be made for the specific device. This would be bad because Customers might not buy the product as they don’t want to have to buy new chargers. The company would also have to design and make a new charger which would cost a lot of money.

Also the device would sync better to the device the PC as The PC would be made buy the same company and would have less glitches and viruses.

Although you would only be able to message some one with the same device so you couldn’t message someone with a regular mobile phone. Also the Messaging service would need a different service to a regular phone that uses SMS and Companies like EE and O2 may not be able to provide the phone with service.
