@dancharvey more != worse. Surely the fragmentation supplies user need, rather than making users conform to limited product line

Thursday August 6, 2015 - 19:37

@dancharvey given domination of Samsung, I don’t think it can just be written off as cost driven. Samsung provide wide range of form factors

Thursday August 6, 2015 - 19:39

@dancharvey plus, surely low cost entry points are a valid use case?

Thursday August 6, 2015 - 19:58

@dancharvey I get it, but Apple’s gilded cage excludes many, users and businesses alike. Can be inflexible, dictatorial and expensive.

@zacharyparadis I’d argue this is often in lieu of stories and characters. Focus on tech is why cinema is dying, and the box set rules.
