Simplicity but at what cost. I like my Ipod classic. it has a simple design. Its clean and pretty.. it doesnt do a lot of things. it doesnt play FM, doesnt have shortcut keys/buttons, has a tinny screen. Do I love it. yes.
The key to the next gen..IMO is design.Most consumers dont care whats under the hood. Look at the wii. Its a success coz its pretty, compact and easy to use. The 360 is bulky, noisy, hot. The PS3 resembles a foreman grill. Simple clean compact designing is one of the key steps to success in the next gen. I dont know why companies keep getting it wrong. Designs like DC,Wii are gr8.. horrible ones like xbox, PS2, GC. A prettier simpler console means more people will wanna own it. A complicated beast will simply scare even the most eager user away.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
