It might just be you. This post seems pretty clearly to be from someone who get Geoffrey A. Moore's thesis in "Crossing the Chasm" - there are a VAST number of consumers out there that are NOT techie/early adopters and don't understand things in the way that we techie/early adopters do. If you don't plan on how to include that segment, then your startup is in trouble.
I agree. I am trying to find a dead simple digital camera for my parents (both on their 60s), that also takes some good quality pictures.
Imposible to find, and it seems that newer versions just cram more features into, things that my parents will never be able to figure out, or use them properly.
