[+] then you could attach it to a cement block for something that's both fashionable and slighly portable. |

//Sigh... what's with the Apple specificity?// No one would steal anything but an iPhone. A lanyard hole would deface the otherwise perfect design of the case, whereas a tiny Kensington slot would be completely unobtrusive. |

A Kensington has to be the most useless thing ever. A crook doesn't even have to break it, because it usually just just pops right out of the slot. iPhones also have a unique ability that laptops don't; if you need to walk away you can put it in your pocket. |

Recognising the oeverwhelming desireability of Apple products is not arrogance, it's just reality as confirmed by the market. Adding the Kensington slot serves to confirm this. |
|

The fact that only the iPhone would have this slot, places their products in a higher bracket for marketing purposes.... ie non iPhones don't need this as no one would steal them - do you get it now? |

Of course few people are going to carry around a cable. That's not the point. The point is marketing and desire. |

You're coming at this wrong - you don't lock the phone to a something (concrete block, desk, whatever), you lock it to yourelf, in much the same way as some people keep their wallet on a chain.
But yes, a feature for all portable electronics, not just iCrap. |
