Idiotic Product Design
I've been on the road for the past couple of days, and there's one thing that I've decided I can't live without: smartphones.
The problem is, I don't have one.
But after lugging around a 6 pound laptop with a battery that lasts no longer than it takes me to type this blog, I've come to the realization that carrying a smartphone would have allowed me to pack ridiculously lighter. It would have also saved me the irritation of having to sit next to a power outlet at the airport. (For those wondering, my laptop isn't ancient; it's a new Sony VAIO)
Or perhaps it's not the fact that I need a smartphone at all. Maybe I just need a better designed laptop.
This is what happens when you have bad product design: you get customers who begin to wonder how much life would be easier with SOMEthing else.
End rant.
