And, yes, there are wrong sizes. Of course there are wrong sizes. And of course size matters... if it did not design teams would not need to consider it! > The more sizes, the more choice, that is offered, the more people will > find something close to what is optimal for them.

You seem to be referencing this: <https://www.biopsychiatry.com/happiness/choice.html> Would be great if you could understand it! -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

So I wan't far off. the dell streak was the first 5" phone and people thought it was stupid. it failed (and not just due to size). a year or two later, samsung came out with the note, mostly so it could have a larger battery that could last longer than a few hours (early lte chipsets were *very* power-hungry). it sold well, much to everyone's surprise. now, phablets are very popular, and the lte chipsets far more energy efficient too. not everyone wants a large phone, however, so there are also smaller sizes. choice is good.

Which was my point: it';s not abouit what the device could do, but what people want it to do. Our devices are overpowered as it is.

Oh yes it does. It indicates that the marketers have decided that it's a feature that quite a lot of people either already want, or will want as soon as they realise they can have it. If marketing sees a possible increase in margin, that's significant. Of course, it may turn out they've over-interpreted their data, but it's too soon to tell. > what matters is whether people buy it for that purpose and actually use > it that way. Fact is, a lot of stuff is sold on features that people will never use. It's the reason so many people buy pickup trucks. >> I've >> noticed that people often hold the phone face up like a mini-tablet and >> talk at it, not into it. > > i've noticed that too. it's very weird. Yeah, but now that I have to waer hearing aids, I fully underrtsnad it. >> So a tablet with phone is an obvious next step >> I think. > > it isn't. > > who wants to carry a tablet-sized phone everywhere?? You have a point, but then, who wants to carry two devices if one will do the job? People will buy all kinds of stuff because they think it's practical. Practical is a variety of cool, and cool is powerful. Data point: My dad bought a Klepperboot, a bundle of canvas and sticks that could be unfolded into something resembling a boat. He used it once. >>> very, very few tablets can function as a normal cellphone. there's not >>> much point, especially with the larger 'phablet' phones. >> >> True, for the moment.

I've seen flip phones featured as a fashion accessory. Pay attention to that.

Not to those who paid attention to fashion. In an over-producing economy like ours, fashion drives at least 50% of the market. Ignore it at your peril. If you see any hints that the iPhone is no longer cool, sell your Apple stock. (The biz pages recently reported that Apple has lost a few mil in capitalisation because iPhone sales have slipped in the last quarter or two: a straw in the wind, or just a hiccup? We'll see.) > now, phablets are very popular, and the lte chipsets far more energy > efficient too. > > not everyone wants a large phone, however, so there are also smaller > sizes. > > choice is good.

We'll see.) iphone sales have not slipped. the reason for the recent drop in the stock price was that apple will no longer report unit sales for each product and wall street is freaked out about it, yet for some reason, they don't seem to mind that very few other companies report unit sales. amazon says the kindle sells well, but how many exactly? nobody outside of amazon knows. there is also a lot of market manipulation going on (it happens every quarter). fabricate a story, the stock price drops, forming a wonderful buy-op, and then cash in on the rebound. apple stock is already up 5% from last week's low. and it's not just apple. bloomberg news, as a matter of corporate policy, is to write stories that manipulate the market. witness their bullshit story about hacked servers.

I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to say desktops are no longer mainstream, but it's certainly true that desktops have recently been rapidly losing ground to laptops--at least for home users; doctors offices, lawyers offices, other professionals still mostly use desktops. As far as I'm concerned, using a laptop instead of a desktop is a bad mistake, for several reasons: 1. Laptops are more expensive to buy 2. Laptops are more expensive to repair 3. It's often more expensive to buy and replace a laptop component in a laptop than an equivalent component in a desktop 4. It's usually much harder and more expensive to upgrade hardware in a laptop than in a desktop 5. Desktops can often be repaired or upgraded by their owners. That's seldom as common on a laptop. 6. I'm against all all-in-one devices. If a component fails, sometimes you can't just replace it, but have to replace the whole device. 7. Laptops are more readily stolen. 8. Laptops are more readily taken somewhere and lost. 9. Laptops are more prone to being dropped and broken. 10. Laptops usually get their Internet access by WI-FI, while desktops generally get it by an Ethernet connection, which is much faster. I know my views on this are in the minority, since so many people these days buy laptops instead of desktops. But I'm right and they're wrong. <VBG> A laptop, as a second computer, is great for traveling. It's a poor choice as your only computer, for using at home. And to me, the smaller the laptop, the better, since size and weight are important factors when traveling.

"Still a lot" is consistent with "not as many as there used to be", which is my point.

On the contrary, it's of the essence of my definition, which is why I gave it as an example. It should be obvious that "mainstream" and "niche" are contrasting terms. A mainstream product may well be used by professionals for some work-related task. Mainstream = used by most people. Which could include professionals who etc. A niche product is one not used by most people, but used by (for example) professionals who etc. Sheesh, why do I have to explain such obvious parsings? -- Wolf K kirkwood40.blogspot.com "Genetics is not genealogy."
