The simple menu system, and simple set of buttons on the Ipod mimic what this article is trying to say the latest tech gadgets are not--user friendly.

If more companies tried harder on design and usage, specifically portable music players, there wouldn't be as many complaints.

On the Ipod you've got your forward/backward buttons, the play/pause button, the menu button, the blank (enter) button, and your simple-to-use scroll wheel.

Yet it does a lot. But it also can do the basic operations the consumer wants without him or her having to wade through menus and use various different buttons.
