Couldn't agree more with that! I guess it is not just developers, but also customers: most people seem to be interested in bells and whistles rather than staples. Watching videos on a tiny phone screen seems more important than using the mobile as one's digital secretary, that is - to help organize one's life. The history of DogMelon's Note Studio (a truly innovative note taking system) says something about that: http://www.dogmelon.com.au/nsblog/

Or, I could simply say that perhaps IT slowly gives way to ET, that is: entertainment technology

BTW, I've just noticed that you own a HTC Touch Pro 2 - that's the same model I have currently. So our journey through mobile devices went along a similar route
