The essence of the iPhone

Posted by alpheccar - Dec 08 2007 at 20:29 CEST

I finally bought an iPhone after having owned several iMode phones, Nokia phones and a few PDAs. After one week of experiments here is how I would summarize my feelings:

We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes - Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Conduct of Life, "Beauty" (1860).

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius - George Sand

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex ... it takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage, to move in the opposite direction - Albert Einstein
