I'd point out that a lot of the reason folks jump on you , JC, is not the factual content of what you post, but how you present it.
The liberal use of curse words, insinuations on people's intelligence levels, outright insults - that's attacking people. Not the subject, people. It will automatically create certain reactions, none of which are likely beneficial to you.
In general, this only weakens the impact of what you have to say. You may have something important and relevant and well thought out in your message, but if someone reading it sees a stream of invectives and abuse mixed into the text, they're likely to dismiss the message as emotional ranting. At the very least, it makes the message downright unpleasant to read, so the audience may just not pay that much attention to the content. Either way, your message gets lost in the baggage.
I for one have attempted to remain civil and focused on the subject. I'd ask that you do the same.
As for the subject at hand...
I have no problem with a datajack that has both a wired jack AND wireless connectivity, and a data chip that is the same. You see this sort of thing on products all the time. It's not stupid, it's a feature. Marketing departments call it Legacy Support.
There are some chips out there without wireless that will need a physical port to plug in, either older models or ones that are deliberately made without it. Likewise there's older datajacks around that lack wireless and might need to have a data chip physically plugged in. Really, the datajack itself is a legacy device - many folks in the Sixth World don't use them at all.
Even now, the new "wireless USB" standard is being developed to allow USB-style connectivity without wires. But even computers and peripherals that have it will still also have old fashioned wired USB ports for years and years to come. Smartphones these days all have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AND a physical USB port. Hell. you still see legacy PS/2, VGA, and Serial ports offered on some current laptops - how many people actually use those? The list goes on.
Additionally, having the datajack be JUST a connection port, rather than a media reader as well, is just... cleaner. Design-wise, you don't have to assume additional mechanical functions in datajacks, and it neatly explains HOW datachips somehow can interface with any electronic device.
It also follows real world trends that are moving away from "bare media" storage. It's far simpler and more efficient to design interfaces to a universal standardized port, and move the media reader with a compatible port into the same package as the storage media. That way you don't have to worry about being compatible with this or that media, this or that proprietary storage tech. You don't HAVE to have this 23-in-1 'universal reader' with a dozen sockets and slots for media from different companies - one socket, one standard, the various companies can still use whatever internal storage tech they want and it all works with any computer.
