Comments on: Are sizzling gadget sales cooling off?

With so many digicam, DVD players and MP3 players in the home today, consumer appetite for new devices could start slacking.

I have only one of those gadgets

I only have a digital camera. I have no plans on aquiring a TV that will be outdated next year. I have no desire for the horrible interface of the ipod. Most gadgets have been poorly designed, in fact I long for my older nokia phone over this newer samsung I just got (AT&T went bye bye and Cingular started degrading signals until upgrade to gsm.,)


So yeah I'm done with gadget world.

WTF

Out of all the interfaces i've used for portable music players the
iPod's is the easiest and best especially with the clik wheel since all
your controls are done by one thumb which is how it should be, as
for the nokia i just got the 8800 and the interface is quite bad
compared to the sony i had earlier + the battery lasts a day on
standby, even if i have a spare battery i'm returning it

You can't be serious

The iPod has the worst interface? Man, what on gods green earth are you smoking?

It'll be worth waiting...

... for an ultimate device which is a true PC, phone, camera, media player, radio and TV in one the size of your palm and fits in your pocket.

Devices that

do everything don't do anything well, think about it using a mp3
player and using a camera. they are used in two different ways,
think of how you hold each device, now add a mobile phone and
a pc with video playing capability, which will be on a tiny screen
since a mobile phone has to be small to be practical, now
consider battery life and then an easy to use interface to make it
work. I'd prefer to have a computer where you can plug your
gear into (or use wireless) and integrate it with all your software
with out getting drivers. Doesn't seem like any company has
done that really well... oh wait apple has. I switched recently
and have not looked back at the mess (mess: a top of the line
sony vaio with xp pro, not some dell or crap brand pc) i had
before.
