Built in obsolescence doesn't work ...
on sooo many levels...
Building a rock solid product is the easy part for some companies....making money from it afterward is the trick...or not.... a company making ends meet with enduser software purchases after the fact ... apple nailed the second half of the equation...but frankly not the 1st half......they have a thoroughly planned obsolescence with a money machine on the end of it...making it rather "evil" in countenance ..in my opinion...
Nokia (with the n8x0) nailed the 1st half of the equation but couldn't manage the 2nd half ...
