Four years and seven months ago(January 2007), a corporation (Apple) brought forth on this continent(United States) a new mobile station(iPhone), conceived as unique in history, and dedicated to the idea that this phone was the first among equals.
Now, we are engaged in a civil war(iOS vs Android), testing whether that corporation, or any corporation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war(the internet). We have come to dedicate a single device(Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi) to a final resting place for the fans who gave parts of their lives(1,000,000 posts) that this site may live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power (the giveaway of a single Tab) to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be here dedicated to the unfinished work (dominance of Android) which many who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion (even though the contest winner is chosen by chance) that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain?that this mobile smartphone world, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom (Android)?and that government of the rooters, by the rooters, for the rooters, shall not perish from the earth.

So come on, don't I deserve a Tab for this?
