Playing Down The Tech Specs

from the it's-about-time... dept

One good thing to come out CeBit appears to be that many of the gadget makers are doing their best to (finally!) stop talking about the technology specs of the gadgets they're pushing and start focusing on the actual benefits to users. Most users don't really care about things like CDMA/GPRS/3G/MMS/whatever. They just want a device that does what they want it to do. Hopefully, companies are starting to realize this.
