AaronMahnke: Emotions →
See, I think the thing that’s holding back so many mobile phone makers is that their hardware looks like Industrial Age, mass-produced widgets. You can see too many seams, parts bend and indent, and plastic abounds. And this was ideal and acceptable 10 years ago. —Aaron Mahnke See full article for the rest. Its a good read.
