Todd Sieling, Product Manager for Ma.gnolia and all around smart-guy, published a gem on his blog today. Discussing "Less is More" in context of the Playstation3 and the Wii, Todd states ...
It’s never the specific technologies that make great products. Instead, it’s the careful selection and combination of those technologies into a coherent experience that wins people over.
Amen.
I would only add that it is what fires the imagination in people and enables them to do more than they thought possible that makes a great product experience.
