iPhone: Creating "Feature Creep?"



More than HALF of the products returned each year in the U.S. -- costing businesses one hundred BILLION dollars annually -- have nothing wrong with them. People just couldn't figure out how to actually USE them! As a result, companies are starting to respond to the feature-fatigued masses with user-friendly devices...but have consumers hit the wall? For the whole story, watch The Weekend Edition of the "Watercooler Diaries" on KBTVonline!

You can't be serious. You have a $400 remote control. And I'm supposed to feel sorry for you?

I'm a wiz when it comes to electronics but even I have to admit that there are too many features on most of my products, features that I don't use or even care to use.

of your money...not only can you apparently afford a $399 remote control but you can even afford NOT to use it and let it collect dust.

I forgot to add that i really loved it when you said that the jitterbug phone ONLY costs $147.

Obviously you people are just jealous that Kate can afford to spend her money on this crap. As for the jitterbug phone though why would anyone pay more for a phone that offers less. Seriously $147 for a phone that doesn't do anything extra, that's ridiculous. if you don't like the extra features just don't use them. Duh!

Kate says about the iPod shuffle: "It sold an estimated 30 million"

AppleInsider says:

"Apple does not breakdown its iPod sales goal figures by model, sources said, making it difficult to estimate how many of the new flash-based iPod shuffle players the company hopes to sell through its retail stores."

I'd love to know where you get your information?
