I wasn't suggesting that it's the only way to sell a product, only that products that appeal to such desires often sell better. I, too, obviously, own and eDGe--and a Blackberry--because I buy products that match my need to use them. But not everyone purchasing habits match mine.

The proof in the pudding is the fact that we know the eDGe suits the needs of a certain demographic better than anything else on the market--but no one is buying it! People are lining up instead to buy the sexy but under-performing (for these needs anyway) ipad.

Addendum: Very interestig article about the Kno.
