Well, it's not obvious that your primary aim is to provide a good mobile experience. Providing a good mobile experience seems to be your secondary or less aim. What does seem obvious is that selling lots of product at the highest margin possible is your primary aim. Trying to provide a good mobile experience might be one way to that end, but at the moment it seems that you have nothing better to do than be "trendy." And I speculate that your board members would agree with me.

It is possible that we don't agree on what makes a good mobile computing user experience, but it's hard to comment more before concrete product launches. Perhaps we have come back to these questions and reasonings after such an event.

I disagree. We can talk about it right now. But instead of talking about future products, let's start with the past and work our way forward. I'll start:

Why after two iterations of internet tablets did you decide to remove the dpad and the menu button from the screen bezel?
