Bigger might be the new Small

My long time favorite blogger wrote another great post entitled “High Definition”.  Seth talks about quality over size and convenience.

In my particular case, I think phones/MP3’s/GPS’s etc… have gotten way too small and difficult to use.

The iPod Nano.  If I didn’t loose it in the first 3 days I had it, I’d probably break it.  It feels like a toothpick.

I have a Sprint Treo 755 phone, one of the biggest out there and it is still too small.  The iPhone is much better, but it still needs to be thicker.  The new Palm Pre?  Forget it.  The first and only time I tried it, I felt like I was holding balsa wood.

Right or wrong, I associate heft with quality in electronic devices. I want something that doesn’t shatter the first time I drop it.  Something that lets me know I’m still carrying it.  Something that is more concerned about working correctly over being small, light and pretty.

Bring back the High Definition.  I’ll pay for it.
