Will, re: Wedgewood (reading the book too) My take-away on that here
is the issue is not one of quality control but feature list fatigue,
as reported in the February 2006 edition of Harvard Business Review
"Defeating feature fatigue".

While wrapping up phone (inc sms and visual voicemail) along with
Music player/itunes browser, Video, Email, Calandar, 2 MPixel Camera,
Photo Album, Googlemapping & other widgets (did I miss anything?)
could only be carried out succinctly by Apple, on 8gig internal
memory.

The guts of the harvard article stand true, that is, in an mature
market users associate usability with quality.
My argument again, while this appears to be UI usable, the experience
seems to have users forking over a lot of money and hanging of a
charge cord just to run all these features.

Some light entertainment from:

However, a little indicative of mass culture getting weary of
promised feature lists.
