How To Split An Atom: A Case Study In Practical Technology Use

    Great observations!

    I'm a Crackberry addict so I can definitely recommend one (the Curve is wonderfully engineered little gadget).

    I'm an ex- software engineer and can attest that unless they (engineers) are reigned in by someone more practical they will over-engineer something with a lot of useful features that have the unintuitive effect of making the end product less usable.

    There is the trick, isn't it? Features are great for keeping people interested in a product they already know how to use, but you can't get them there in the first place unless the biggest value is dead simple.
